I'm trying to locate some Tetra pushing rims. They normally have little prongs protruding so that you can catch them with your hand easily when pushing.

Anybody got any suggestions?

These are usually called either "projections" or "obliques". Both WheelchairParts.net and Mobility Direct carry them.

I have now located pushing rims that are covered in neoprene making them extremely grippy. I think these will be a lot better than having prongs sticking out.
