Couple of notes:

- They don't 'wear' at least for FRC purposes
- The bore on our wheels measured something like .252 - .253" and is a bit rough... Presses can be fun. (2477K36)
- Forget trying to cut/damage/mark them using a conventional method.
- The wheel will expand a bit as it spins up, we observed something around .125" gain in OD around 5k RPM.

Also, add us to the list of those who have had a wheel fail from spinning it too quickly. The Second wheel on our shooter spins somewhere around 11,000rpm at 100% (which is way outside of our normal operating speed) and during testing, we had one of the wheels start to rip itself apart. I have a picture somewhere, if I find it, I'll post it here.

You can turn them on a lathe with a properly ground, very sharp HSS tool.
