    You would need a different Hub (hub of a front bicycle wheel)
    and then just get the plates to stand on and you are good.

    If you got plates that attached to the bearings on a unicycle wheel then
    yes.

    The plates would then move independently of each other, I wonder how
    that would affect the handling. also, I think that you would ruin the
    bearing pretty fast with all of your weight hanging off of the edge of
    it.

    Correct, trying to make a unicycle wheel work will just end up ruining
    it.

    because they're produced in relatively small numbers and so have poor
    economies of scale
