I have seen them use wheels from a Yamaha PW50. Not sure the exact size, but pretty small.
They would require a bit of mods to the bodywork to use, but it's not a bad idea. It would reduce the scrubbing while cornering significantly and I'm sure the smaller contact patch would give better coasting. The small/wide kart slicks are definitely a big disadvantage for rolling resistance and also limit our gearing.
I don't know if he'd go for it though - he really liked the fast cornering!
