Wanted to ask if anyone out there knows if there are aluminum wheels available to fit the Grasshopper? I've looked at a lot of ATV wheels, many of them very sharp-looking, but I can't find any that are the right size (8x6 with a 5x4.5" bolt pattern). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am considering buying a second set of wheels and mounting a pair of Carlisle All-Terrain tires (love these on my John Deere!) as my summer set-up and keeping my lugged chevron tires for winter only. If I do, I'm considering putting ice screws on the chevron lugs for better ice & snow traction rather than chains. Ice screws work great on my dirt bike and don't rattle or wear out like chains and are easier (and cheaper) to replace, so I think they'd be good for extra traction when plowing snow as well. Not really sure yet... just thinking out loud.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
