We have a large stockpile of wheels from previous seasons, so usually the exact dimensions and interface of wheel we want to use is available for testing/practicing. As such, we only need to manufacture the competition-legal ones just in time to compete, since they're pretty light and easily fit within the witholding allowance.
Karthik was pretty disgusted last year when I told him at a Week 3 regional we were both attending that we hadn't started manufacturing any wheels yet.
