I've seen 357's casting method up close and it's pretty awesome, though I don't see most teams being able to do it. 357's wheel body is also it's own work of art - which again is pretty difficult to make, imo.

Not really sure why the OP doesn't want to use AM Mecanums, at $222 a set they seem like a steal.
