As long as you can make it out of allowed raw materials, and it doesn't violate any of the other rules(no razor spikes for traction due to carpet damage, etc), you could have wheels as big as you wanted...
The biggest metal shaft allowed was 1 or 1 1/2 in. The biggest aluminum extrusion allowed was 2x3 cross section. The thickest plate allowed was 1/4. None of these would really be useful in making wheels. All the wheels I saw were much larger than the allowable stock. Also, wheels could only come from skyway or be a caster. Was there special permission given in a team update or e-mail?
