The wheels are actually a lot darker than the photo on the harbor freight website. They are around 2.5 inches wide at the thickest point depending on load and inflation. Actual contact area is around 2-2.25 inches with the ground.Versa hubs could work but it would be difficult to mount them as the hubs are made of steel and the only mounting points are the bolts holding the wheel together. If I had to make hubs again I would ether 3d print them, cast them in a 3d printed mold or depending on if your team has a mill just drill the versa hole pattern and bolt a hub to it. Doing it by hand is possible but idd imagine immensely frustrating to get the hole pattern centered.
