Overview

An industry leader for kart wheels for decades, Douglas has produced spun aluminum kart wheels for a long time. Before there were exotic materials such as magnesium alloys were used, there were spun aluminum wheels - they were the industry standard! Lightweight and straight-forward, these wheels provide a low-grip option for your kart at a fraction of the cost of high-dollar magnesium wheels.

Each Wheel can be sold separately. Typically racers will need (2) rims to fit to their kart. In the case of a Kid Kart or Cadet / Mini kart, a set of (4) rims of the same dimension is needed.

Wheel Dimensions

The 6.5" Wheel features several key dimensions racers may want to know about:

  • This series of wheels utilizes a 3-hole, European OEM type bolt pattern: 3/58 - (3-holes, centered on a 58.0mm diameter from the center axis of the wheel. Each bolt hole is 8mm in size).
  • The overall rim diameter is 5.0" - this fits standard 5" kart racing tires. This is the most common size of kart rim used in sprint-kart racing.
  • Wheel Back-spacing is 2.5" This dimension is denoted by width "3B" in the diagram below.
  • The hub-face to outer edge of the rim is 4". This is denoted by width "6N" in the diagram below.

Each wheel is sold individually. Typically, a kart will require (2) wheels of this dimension to fit on the rear of the kart.
