Subject: The wheels on the Taurox go round and round?

What's the best solution people have found for adding wheels to a Taurox. I know a few folks do upgrade kits (Vic, Puppets War, anyone else?) but is anyone able to make a real recommendation?
I broke down and bought the Start Collecting! Storm Trooper box so I will have one soon.
The other option is my older plan of adding arms and a legs to make Tauroptimus Prime.

Warning From Magnus? Not Listening!

I've seen people using Ork Trukk wheels and it's looked pretty good. Usually it's just done with an upgrade kit though

The problem with the ork wheels is they have these spikes and patches and look well, orky.
THe old 90s truck wheels might work, but they may be too small.

There's always Zinge industries, as well as a conversion kit (see below) they also do a bunch of other wheels, tracks, etc. if you're looking for something different.

Anyone used the conversion kit from Blood And Skulls Industries?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261461279894?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Looks good for $12, but I don't see any pictures of it in use.

So I've used the wheels you listed Kyoto, but not the whole kit. I think when i bought them they just sold wheels but I'm not 100%. My friend that mounted the wheels just used a plasticard tube/pen tube to make an axle. It looks pretty good in my opinion (plus nobody looks at the bottom of those things) :p The wheels are awesome, good quality. And Tauroxes look 1000x better with them!

I ordered a Blood &Skulls set. According to Ebay, I should have them by the middle of next week. I'll try and get some pics when I get it assembled.
