The first ones are junk, second ones might actually work. If they need tubes they will have them.

I know these type of wheels looks great but I did the error of bought these wheels. I put it in the front of my Go kart and in every curves they twist side to side. I use 6 of these in the front of my Kart and they last 40 minute each.

So your saying your tires are basically gone before your out of gas!

I honestly wouldn't use either of the two tires you showed. I bought a set of four of the second type. They don't look very durable so I ended up not using them.

The one's that Ferrari showed look a little better, but I don't know.

dont get 5/8" bore, go for 3/4". 5/8" is to thin i think. I got 3/4" wheels, similar to those ones at HF but better and they go good. I got bearings rated to 25000RPM in them and they work well.

After months and months and months of looking for wheels - I'm happy to report that I'm still looking.

I actually saw a set like Ferrari's shown at our local mower repair shop - hmmmmm!

yup, just went to HF yesterday.
while i was there, i checked out those wheels. a lot of them the bearings felt really bad, a one actually wouldn't turn!

but a few i found felt good when they turned... but i still wouldn't expect them to last long lol
they might be good just to get a kart rolling, to see how everything works... but much more than that.. idk.

the bearings and the tires are horrible and you have to weld a new bead around the bearing tube, but if you're looking for something cheap and you're willing to spend some time making them stronger, they're fine.
