Re: pic: Wheel Idea 2
If you are planning to use dead axles, the wheel has to have bearings that fit into it so it can be driven, which means you either have to somehow find a ball bearing with a hex outside shape. Or find a bushing in the shape of a hex shape externally and put a ball bearing inside of that which doesn't make sense as bushings sort of work like bearings.

If you are planning on driving the axles, you are fine.

Direct drive wheels aka live axles (which your wheel looks like it is made for as there is no mounting hole for a sprocket) you are fine as you are.
