Re: pre-made wheels
you can make your own.... you just need some aluminium pipe, some 1/4" plate and a rotary table... although it takes SOOOO much time... abt 2-3 hours per wheel... and thats with all the jigs and everything we made to speed it up... if you want a cool rim patter you need a CNC but if holes will suffice you can do that on the rotary table as well... we are probly gonna get ours waterjetted since milling them is going to take too long... or just use stock wheels ... but if you have unused students and an unused mill w/ rotary table making them is not especially difficult just time conusming!
