Arctic Cat only used the 6" I'm pretty sure. FYI
think your right, steves looks like a 6" though the reference pics are of a 5"

CCS also used those wheels, probably because a CCS is pretty much a Manco. some people refer to those wheels as snowflakes, and they were available in 4, 5, and 6" sizes 3.25" spacing and setup so they can be drilled and tapped if the holes arent already drilled :thumbsup:

Manco brand or type wheels for sure, used by lots of mfgs . As mentioned already, Arctic Cat ONLY used 6" in this style. I don't see any threaded holes in the webbing so this was a front wheel with no brake. All but the cheapest Arctics had front and rear brakes.

Holes further out are odd. Looks like someone modified it, maybe for a sprocket.

Tire is not the right style for Arctic Cat either. They usually had trials that were more rounded in appearance with tread that came down the sides a bit. This one looks squared off. If course, it could have been replaced.

Hard to say what it came off of but it can be used on a lot of bikes depending on diameter. 6" was probably most common. Threaded holes in the webs can easily be added for sprocket mounts or Cherry/Manco drum brakes. It's a good wheel if you can deal with the holes.

Also might be a slight chance someone used these on a kart, especially if smaller than 6". That would explain the sprocket holes but no place for a brake mount.???

those are for the bolts that hold the halves together, how are they held together on an arctic cat?
Magic! LOL.

Good call. I'm so used to seeing them with bolts in them (no visible holes) that I completely forgot. Having taken 2 apart last year to replace tubes, you'd think I'd pay more attention. That's what I get for reading this forum in the middle of a boring office meeting. Boy do I feel stupid. :banghead:
