Specialized Wheels
I need some wheels that are narrow width-wise (no more than 3 in at widest) but are large in diameter like 14-20" Also, they need to have a keyway bore in the hub. Ideally, they would have pneumatic tires. I only need two. I talked to Skyway and they can only mass produce them. They will only sell people small quantities of what is currently in production. And what is currently in production isn't really ideal for my project.

There's a lot of nice Skyway bicycle wheels for sale on eBay but they have bicycle bearing type hubs.

So, any other suggestions or sources short of machining them myself?
