Cheap wheels for American standard hubs?

[Stumbo]

Im currently building a pair of gokarts that are going to be twins. I already own two sets of hubs pretty much exactly like these:

They are american pattern, and I am having a hard time finding cheap tires and wheels for them.

I have been considering buying these wheels and tires because they are cheap, local and are a perfect match for my karts:

Do you guys think it will be worth it to modify those wheels to fit my hubs, or should I keep looking? Also, if anybody can help me find cheap wheels and tires to fit my karts, it would be much appriciated! I have been shocked to find out that wheels and tires are the most expensive part of this project.

Those hubs are for racing karts, for a fun kart just get rims with bearings built in. If your going live axle, use 4 lug hubs for the rear.

Im building two go karts. They are going to be twins, they are actually for my nephews, i don't want them fighting over the better kart all the time .

I already have the hubs, my cousin raced quater midgets for quite a while and gave them to me, 4 rears and 4 fronts, I would like to use them, but I may end up doing what you suggested.

Nice find! I may end up doing just that, buying some race wheels that will fit the hubs, and buying tires seperate, no matter what I do I think wheels and tires are going to put me back 300+ for the two karts.
