Thanks Jammer it is 7 7/8 in wide and it will have another 3/4 to an inch on each side when the outriggers are folded out. The rims are one piece delrin with bearings in the rims.

That won't be wide enough for my machine it 12 niches wide at the outside of the cats. I guess after I get every thing else built I will have to build a beam trailer to haul it. You have done a nice job so far and the wheels look real good. Ed
