Re: RIVETS FOR TRACTION WHEELS
Interesting. Why did you decide to go with wide flanged ones? We've always used the normal flange ones from McMaster, and have never had any issues.

Re: RIVETS FOR TRACTION WHEELS
we have had issues with the traction material falling off the rivets, so we found some large flange ones, also the wide flange grips it stronger, and also since the wide flange rivets are the ones provided with the traction material we decided to use "original" type rivets.

Re: RIVETS FOR TRACTION WHEELS
Just curious, what size wheels are you using? Ours were roughly 5.5"x1", and the hardware-store-variety 1/8" rivets got us through Palmetto and BE just fine. (Granted, we used multiples on our wheels; look here for a glimpse.)
