Thanks madprofessor .....I am going to look at these.....I really wanted to just find rims that would bolt to this axle but I am beginning to believe my best option is to do just change this axle out....... I believe this axle assembly is a replacement for one of the China made karts and since...

Yes ....that has crossed my mind.....but with who gave it to me it might complicate things....But I may wind up doing just that :unsure: Thanks for the reply........
