Re: custom wheels

Custom wheels are usually made in two ways: 3D printing or CNC machining. The 3D printing method tends to be the easier method. I've heard they can be really strong if made right, so you probably want to experiment before the season if you chose this method. From what I've heard, CNC'd wheels tends to be resource consuming, but you come out with a strong, light wheel.
