does anyone have any old used super light wheels the can give or sell me, I need 4. I want to build a tank for the next scout year, the wheels will be for decoration only. Hoping to find worn out or damaged wheels for minimal cost.
 
Do you actually need full tread, though? If you cut the treads off so that there are just the faces, you'll have light weight and still the look you were going for.

I was thinking of something similar myself. You could also drill holes in the wheels, too, depending on the look you're going for.

Maybe I can, not sure that's exactly what I want. Maybe I'll do a mockup to see what it looks like.

If you want to keep the tread, then you could also make your own lightened wheels. I used to make my own 2g wheels for the NDFW with a dremel and a razor blade.

And safety glasses.
cool
 
I think LB's idea is the best.. You can even make them with a drill press. Take all the weight from the OD for better aero. I have a bunch of old 2.0grams but I don't think that is what your looking for.
