Buy an 8" wheel and turn it into a 7" with a hammer and chisel!

That is for a 6 inch , Wpm is also for a 6inch.

at $8  per wheel replace them every couple years...

Be aware of the plastic hub with no bushing in the bore.

These are intended for push mowers and will NOT stand a lot of side force (as might be seen by a deck during a sharp turn or when being mounted/unmounted).

Still, at the price replacing every few years, per @pfrederi is probably a deal!

@elcamino/wheelhorse  7" wheels are ideal for a deck , the issue is the construction of the wheel , typically chinese junk , with push in bearings , and weak wheel design . would look look  for a wheel in smaller version for a zero turn mower set up , have personally hunted around for solid wheels , don't   expect to fine exactly what you want , it will be for something else , has to be able to handle side loading , at bearing mount point , would also favor  a smooth tread point , so wheel can slide , and not side grip , that pulls wheel apart . my initial trials were good , but as I went on , the wheel to bearing point just fell apart , might make an axel from threaded rod , so you could elastic lock nut the bearing hold in place . starts to get , repetitive  with issues , pete

I picked up a pair of deck wheels from A-Z at the show along with new shoulder bolts. Cost more than the plastic wheels but should last much longer.

I found 7 inch wheels at TS , not stocked in the stores . Made by Martin Wheel ,there are steel with a 55 lb capacity. Should arrive on the 18th . I'll let everyone know how they fit etc. after I get them mounted.
