Oooh, I was looking for a wheel for a Pole Postion Jakks bartop like MinerAl's.  This might be the ticket.

I wonder if you can get a set of spinners for your spinnner??? :laugh2:

Those look pretty cool...As long as they fit on the spinner shaft and there was a way to secure them, I don't see why they would not work.

I actually considered one of those, but the one's at walmart that day were bigger than I wanted...

Should work perfectly though.

They also make a skateboard wheel version that might work real good.  They are a little smaller diameter than the real wheels.

I actually have one of the Flywheels, that I got for my kids.  The things are well balanced, and you can get quite a velocity with them.
