Hey. I made (or had a set made, not that it was beyond trivial to do so)
a set out of two pieces of 4" angle iron. They're heavy, but they'll
never bend. Guy at the machine shop just chopped em out of some spare
metal he had lying around and put a hole in the middle.

Mine are 1/4" thick steel plates and hold up amazingly well.

And instead of starting a new thread, does anyone know where I can get a
cheap BMX wheel for building myself a BC wheel? The cheapest I've
found online is around $35.00, including shipping. I know I should be
able to find one for cheaper (WaldoMart sells entire b*kes for $45.00).
I don't care about quality right now. I just want cheap. Quality can
come later after I decide if I want to continue or not.

Well you want a 14mm axle or it will bend pretty quickly so if you get a
wheel from walmart or something then it won't last very long and will
probably just be a waste of money. Maybe look on ebay for something
cheap though.
