Drift trike wheels

Have seen drift trikes before and thought the wheels would be fun on a landyacht. Might be effective for keeping speeds down in small asphalt lots and would remove tire wear. Plus drifting is just plain fun.

the problem we are having is getting an aproximate match that allows a 250mm tyre to pump into a PVC pipe.
once thats sorted the rest should be easy.
got some interesting sized stuff at the maybell chook.
lake was U/S
i reckon one go and Vic will be building

if you cant find pvc pipe of the right size, what about black poly?
its used in heaps of sizes on the mines- and if you ring any mob that handle de-watering or plastic pipe welding they will have heaps of offcuts.

Check the guys running Go-Karts in Kal. Once the tyres go off, they are about as handy as a wrought iron hang glider. These will fit a PVC pipe size. We used to use PVC pipe to store them while in transit.
Most will give you the old tyres for nix, just to get shod of them. They will probably drift like crazy without PVC as they go very hard with temp range and age.
The rims are not expensive either.
