Will probably order the tine set. Have to do some measuring before I order but should work. Cheapest I have found so far.
Look at the design of the ignite rake. If your tines connect to the top surface those wheels will not connect as shown. You may be able to flip the mounts and still use them?

I had no problem with the durability of the Titan set. Just problems getting them to ship complete. I also didn't like how close they were to the rake tines and the Ignite set look to be the same in that regard.

I say learn to fabricate and build your own. ;)

I've had no problem with mine which are identical to the Ignite ones. There really isn't a lot of stress on the down tube during operation. The highest bending moment is up at the attachment to the rake cross bar.
This is what will break first.

Do you have actual experience with a set of wheels of this design or are you just guessing? I have a set and have had no problems with them.

There is no significant bending moment applied at the point you indicated because the wheels turn, so no significant horizontal force is applied to the lower end of the wheel post. So unless you catch the wheel in a gopher hole while raking at a good speed, it is unlikely to break there.
