For sizes larger than what Vexpro sells in their current lineup, you can go the old fashion route and buy your Colson wheels here. The wheels with a 1 3/16" bore are what the Vexpro/WCP hubs are designed for.

Considering your location if you have more local sources for Colsons with hubs I'm not sure what the best method would be is to remove them is or if it would damage pressing a new hub in.

Thanks for sharing your 2016 chassis Skunks! Any information on your gearing and speeds from this season?
