As of now, I'm considering reducing their width to 1/2" and making them from one sheet of aluminum and one sheet of polycarbonate bolted together. . .or, some variant of that.

Actually, those wheels were made by team 263. I dunno if they are more than 6 inches in diameter, but they look like it in the picture. They definately look like they were made how Reiland said. If you look at the inside of the wheel on the left, you can see a separation between the plates on the wheel. Looks like they just took aluminum plates, and heated them up with a torch (which tends to make aluminum more maleable). Then they formed them and held them together by welding spokes on. I could be wrong though.
