However, I warn that they're a pain to mount. That being said, they're fantastic wheels. Their driving surface is among my favorites.

Good Luck!
That's the first positive review of a banebots wheel I've ever read (for driving).

I would recommend Colson Performa wheels, they come in 5" sizes but provide less traction.

However, I would also recommend you work with a chassis design that allows for regularly available wheel sizes instead of restricted to 5". What is requiring a 5" wheel?
