I was thinking that as it is already a bit airy

smilesmile It would be worth while trying to keep it aerodynamic smilesmile

Not sure how wide mag wheelbarrow wheels would go

They would look out of place

smilesmile Unless we could paint them with rusty paint smilesmile

Very 'air o dynamic'

Should get lifetime km and warranty with those tyres.

I also like the no tyre look. Less chance of being stolen.

Never thought of the security angle, Doug

We could still have the wide wheelbarrow mag wheels, altered to a square profile, then painted a rusty colour

We I would then use square tyres

On the assumption that the thieves would be

smile Driving it as though it was stolen smile

They would be thrown out on the first corner, as that car does not have seatbelts

Below is a link for a square tyre car, on UTube, 21 seconds long
