hi aaron,
the dimension is not exactly as it is.. we all know that.. my point here is that how you can model this wheel by solidworks.. the real dimension go figure out yourself..

This is by far the most interesting model to be made in this website, the best of all is that you can modify the wheel design anyway you want. Of course that the dimensions are not like the real ones, but what really matters is the learning.
