I obtained some 16x6.5x8 wheels from Purple Marine for ?58.75 (delivered direct from Dixon Bate). They were ordered on Friday and delivered on Monday. The only extra bits required are 2 bits of 30mm dia waste pipe cut to 55mm each (option 1), or you could use the off cuts you are about to obtain plus the existing spacers (option 2). Cut 20mm off EACH end of the central cross bar, discard (option 1) or re-use (option 2), then re-assemble, replacing the existing spacers that sit between the wheels and the hull cups with either option. It took me 20 minutes. I can bring some 30mm tube with me to the Nationals, so let me know if you want some pre-cut to 55mm.
