Starting with a polyvee belt either an old aux drive belt from a car or

Wheels quite often have a camber/crown and the poly vee follows this
nicely (or stays flat on flat wheels.

If you baulk at £13 for tyres, check out the prices for startrite bonded
on tyres!!

For the very best blades and free advice try tuffsaws. I like em and
often recommended on various forums.

What glue do you glue these to aluminium with ?
They are flat faced

Ok. Model plane experience again. Rubber to rubber joints when making
tyres from foam cords or O-ring stock: use super-glue.

To hold them on a rim IF you can get them on the rim before it sets
super-glue also works, or try a contact adhesive like original evostik
(spirit based) but just use it like a normal glue - i.e. dont 'coat
both/let dry'.
