Matt Reiland has a reputation beyond repute

This year our shafts are steel while our wheels are aluminum. To attach we welded a 'yoke' to the shaft then bolted the wheel to it this is the strongest method we have for dissimilar metals. Metal to metal we welded. I like trantorques also they work well as long as you have good tolerances. Also not sure how they work if the wheel was plastic probably not well. If you need more help post the materials of what you are connecting and someone can offer robust advice.
