Stepper Hubs

I've finally mastered my stepper motors... or maybe the motors have let me learn a couple of their secrets. :-)
Anyway, I'm starting to put together some ideas for a Bot Bot style machine using the steppers. My biggest concern was how to mount wheels on the motor shafts. I have to admit, folks have come up with pretty slick ideas, but I don't think I could reproduce that effort.
My solution was these hubs on eBay:
The ID is 5mm with holes for 2 - 6-32 set screws.
The hub is 11.4mm thick.
The flange is 27.75mm in diameter.
The 3 mounting holes are about 3.5mm in diameter.
I figure these will give a me lot of options for using the motors.
