What are the dimentions?You know,the thread pattern,width,length,type of metal.I'd like to see how this turns out,so let me know what they are,and I'll see what I can do.

I am going to make a creation with a car alloy wheel.  The wheel will
need a wide hub made up, but thats no problem as cheap steel hubs are
made of bits pushed together.  So I would just change the centre
section and make a flange to mount the wheel.

The problem is the axle.  As the tyre is a 195/50 15", thats 8"
wide.  Bike axles are only about 6".  I got a length of studding from
a motor bike catalogue called Custom Fasteners a while ago.  They
were selling 12" lengths then, I cut it in 2 for my MTB wheels.  But
now they only seem to sell upto 8" long studs.  Does anyone know
anyone else that sells bike axle BSCY studs or threaded rod as its
known?
