amazing omni wheels, just a few questions, what are the larger (white) disks made of and how are the (clear) disks that look like polycarbonate held in?

The larger disks are polycarbonate
The smaller disks are actually lexan and each of those have a center hole with a small metal dowel rod throught the middle. As with most onmi wheels there are two halves that have places for the axels milled out of the middle and then the two halves are fastened together, sandwiching the small disk's axle.

Ok thanks for the info. Just a note of info for you, polycarbonate is the plastics "physical" name, Lexan is a copyrighted trade name for the first developed polycarbonate by General Electric in the late 1960's.

I agree, very nice omni wheels this year. Some of the nicest ones I have seen in many recent years actually. Very nice work!
