My front wheels have arrived. Chinese dirt bike, nice quality.....and the price... around $54 ea. with free shipping. Whoo Hooo!
These were on Aliexpress, you need to spend a fair bit of time sussing out the bargains and pay particular attention to the shipping cost.
Bit of tension while monitoring the tracking, they were held up at Chinese airport for a couple of weeks to get on special "oversize'" freight flights.
I actually got some discount vouchers because of the delays.
My original plan was to build my own wheels around some nice 1970's Yamaha MX hubs I have. Then sourcing the 17" rims and custom spokes, tyres, tubes and rim bands, add the time to assemble and true and we are looking at hundreds & hundreds of $$$$$ for 2 wheels.
Now that I have the wheels, I can finish the pillar spacing and the stub axle design to meet the track width spec.

CKAlexander The ads and deals change almost daily. Takes patience and constant attention to find absolute bargains.
Here is a cheap 17" pitbike wheel, but no free postage, Perhaps you can contact the seller to do a deal on reasonable postage for buying 4. Cheers Daryl.

That's really reasonable, especially with the free shipping.
