Wheels- Wooden Wagon Wheels
At Custom Wagons we make only quality hard wood wagon
wheels and wagon wheel hubs, WE NEVER MAKE OR SELL SECONDS.
While there are a number of Internet companies that sell wagon
wheels, there are only a small number of companies that produce
the wagon wheels they sell and of these companies there are
even a smaller number that make only top quality wagon wheels.
Wagon Wheel Hubs, like wagon wheels, come in all size and
shapes, we have designed this information page on wagon wheels
to assist you in determining the type of wagon wheel hub and
the wagon wheels to use for your project. We can custom build
any size wagon wheel hub or and of our wagon wheels to meet
your needs.
All of our wagon wheel hubs and wagon wheels are hand crafted
and quality made from the finest USA wood. Our wagon wheels
are made with solid steam-bent hardwood construction and hardwood
spokes. All of our wagon wheels have forge shrunk steel rims,
they can also be ordered with rubber, flat or rolled, tire
rims.
ALL ABOUT WAGON WHEELS:
Wagon Wheels consists of four main parts, the
rim, felloes, spokes, and hubs.
FELLOES:
The normal felloes width on our wagon wheels range from 1"
1 1/2". We can custom make the width on any of our wagon
wheels to match the needs of your project. The width and depth
of the felloe must remain in proportion. A 2" wide fellows
should have a 1 1/2 - 2" depth.
RIMS:
There are three types of rims on our wooden wagon wheels,
forge shrunk steel rims, flat rubber rims, and rolled rubber
rims. We can place any type rim on any of our wagon wheels
to fit your project needs.
SPOKES:
Our Wooden Wagon Wheels have 8, 10, 12, 14, or 16 spokes
depending on the size of the wheel and what the wheel will
be used for. The number of spokes must be in relationship
to the size of the wagon wheel.
RUBBER:
 |
Rubber, flat or rolled, can be added
to any of the wagon wheels we make. Rubber not only
makes less noise on pavement than steel rims, the wheel
rolls better which makes it easier to pull. Rubber will
last for 2000 -4000 miles before having to be replaced,
depending on surface and conditions. Adding rubber will
increase the wheel size by approximately 2" please
allow for the increase when ordering wheels. If you
add rubber to a 32" wheel, it will be 34"
after the rubber.

HUBS:
Hubs can be as varied as the number of spokes on wagon wheels.
We can custom build any size wood hub to meet your project
needs.
