I was looking to get a new set of magnesium wheels for my Tony kart shifter.
i thought of Douglas magnesium SE wheels but i read that they are not made for shifter karts. Is that a problem, are they too soft, i thought those where the same as OTK wheels?
If they won't do, what wheels can i get, sure there's OTK but is there another option?

Thanks to all of you for your input!

Where did you read this? I and MOST KZ guys use Douglas wheels so Rolling Eyes I'm a little suspicious!

I've never had a Douglas wheel fail on me unless it was MY fault!! Embarassed

From the Douglas wheel website:
''SE Magnesium wheels are designed specifically for Non-Gearbox Karting
''

I suppose you guys are running another model, maybe the LV?

If you look at Douglas Wheels site you can see that they make other magnesium wheels, so just get those instead of the SE model. I dont see what is so difficult with this or maybe Im not understanding your question.
