Have you looked into Power Wheels? They are the ones that fit on battery powered toy cars that the kids rise around on.

Fronts or rears?
I looked at my sons Gravedigger last night and the inside diameters are different, didn't get my mic out, too drunk to take accurate readings. :doh:
I do have an old set gonna see what I can rig up this weekend.

Both should work. Between me and my brother we made two sets from one car. He is still using his set with his X-Factor and I sold mine with my X-13 earlier this year. The wheels on these two carts were not the large ones (maybe 6"-7" diameter and 5" wide). They rode great over hard pack and handled the soft sand very well. You can find larger height and width tires on the web site I posted prior, I think the large wheels fit the "Wrangler" model Power Wheel (10" diameter and around 7" wide).

Good luck.

Thanks I will see if the modifiedpowerwheels.com classifieds have any.

So this weekend I tried the powerwheels, wheels. I borrowed the front wheels off of my sons gravedigger, on they way out across the sand they were pretty good. Then after a day of paddling and the weigh of dead fish they kinda plowed into the sand. Gonna keep saving for a set of Wheeleez 30cm.

Just out of curiosity, any one interested in a group buy on the
Wheeleez Beach Cart From OEX maybe we can get something going?

Kick stand for your hobie wheels
 
I do not like the idea of flipping the kayak on the side to insert the wheels on my hobie kayak so I think I am gonna put a kick stand to hold the wheel unit erect and lift the back end of the yak over the wheel posts then into the scupper holes. That way I don't have to take everything out of the yak. :notworthy:

hey if you do buy wheeleez dont get the pvc one's they are rated @ 95F if you leave them somewhere hot like I did they get warped. get the poly one's they are rated @ 167F. btw my wheeleez are 22cm they seem to be good size
