TSW's Pindrive's allow this AFAIK. They are a serious wheel and have adjustable eccentric bolt holes on an adaptor plate. The wheel then attaches using a single nut. They cost £££££'s.

One question though.......

WHY??

Don't be mislead by what seems to be a good idea, due to getting hold of something 'cheap'. Fitting those wheels is going to cost a fortune, don't bother IMO.
