I found these wheels if one should go with a four wheel setup.. 250mm in diameter flat contact, rubberized on steel hub with bearings

vtsteam:
You want a slight crown across the tire rather than deaf flat, and just make sure those circumfrential grooves in the picture don't interfere with your blade. Also check out the bearings and load capacity. Should be at least equal to the sum of the blade tension vectors, plus a little allowance.

You could probably replace the bearings in some wheels if they seem cheap -- not sure about those. Your driven wheel will need to be solidly affixed to a shaft.

NeoTech:
Crown i can do i set them up in the lathe and put some sandpaper to em. :)

vtsteam:
Put it in the freezer first, or, if in our kinds of winter...... :)

NeoTech:
you think, the rubber would be easier to work with if hardened up.. yeah maybe it will be. never thought of that one actually. =)
