I need some good solid advise here guys!..

(Thanks)

Hey guys..
I found something that will work GREAT for the wheels but I started to think about exactly what is it that I'm building? The thread name is (building a better wheelchair) and this is not better it’s just cheaper!, I want to make people feel good about them self’s and even know these alternates will work! And they will save weight and money, I just honestly don’t think they will make people feel better about themselves. I don’t want to cheapen it do I??

Or??

Should I look at it as I'm helping getting someone out and exposed to elements that they would typically not be exposed too . I'm really afraid that if I use anything other than wheels I might not be reaching my goal of providing a better chair.. so with that said I'm going to installing four of these https://www.northerntool.com/webapp/...Product%20Page

I found some moon hubcaps that will fit and if I paint the rims to match the chair!, then I'm right back on track for building a better chair and even if I go this route I’ll still only have under $400 to date in it.. Including 1” axels with sealed bearings (so now I'm back up ahead) of the game / my goal of building / providing a better chair of less..

What do think?? Build it cheaper or build it better ?? I'm thinking better.
