The outer wall looks like it's recessed for the tread. Does your weight include the tread material, or is it just the wheel?

I like the wider tread. Very nice, Adam!
Just the wheel, but since it's just for a prototype CAD I extruded where the tread would be, so it should be about the same weight.

Re: pic: 6 inch wheel design
Pretty neat.

For the "free" wheel, if the hub is wider than the rim, you can attach a flat sprocket directly to the (nicely integrated) bolt pattern on the wheel without an extra spacer. I can't tell from the picture if it's already like that.
