New and Starting

Hi guys, I'm new.
I want to start building choppers but I have a few questions.

1. Where do you get those big wheels and tyres and how do you mount them to such a narrow space on the bike?

2. What are those sleek, narrow tyres (on front) called?

Hello.

1. I get mine from the auto scrap yard. The frame is build around the wheel.

2. They are actually normal bicycle wheels, but look small compared to the car wheel at the rear. Thin front wheels are often called pizza cutters.

Hey, thanks!

For the rear wheel, is the frame also from bicycle parts? what rims do you use and what axle diameter?

Would motorbike wheels be ok for rear wheels too?
