cheap 16" front wheels. Where to buy?
I'd like to buy two 16" cheap (less than $100 total) front wheels for a bike trailer project. Where can I buy them?
I'd prefer wheels with the narrow 74 mm OLD hubs that Dahons or Bromptons use, but I can't find them for sale anywhere online. Please help.
Even better: are there any decent quality 12" inch wheels? I mean not just crap Walmart kid's bike wheels.

305 and 349 are both a size of 16" wheel ..
Dahon may be more likely using the former , ISO is Bead seat diameter ,
[so bigger rim and thinner tire comes out similar OD].

Both 12.5".. 203mm ISO Diameter and 16".. probably 305 ISO tire type.

These are actual 12" trailer wheels, and if they come as they do on their trailers, they will have Big Apple tires on them.
