Not a waste at all! I highly recommend you figure it out... so that a few of us can follow in your footsteps! I’m a little jealous of the 80 series turbo kit that is being created right now.

Looks good.
Small update. Had a slow leak in one wheel, so I ordered a couple new O rings and tore the wheel/tire down to install the new O ring.
Be really careful when stretching the O ring - that one on the floor was brand new and just snapped when I pulled it a little too much. Luckily I'd bought two.
You'll also need a way to break the bead. I thought maybe it would just come apart but nah - even with a freshly mounted tire, it was all stuck together pretty good. These tire pliers did the trick.

These are really well built. Made in Australia, and this seemed to be the best US dealer. There were a few knockoffs on Amazon for cheaper, if you feel like modifying them to work with wheels larger than 15"
