Re: pic: Team 294 Wheel prototype

RP is definetly cool. I am a little jealous

I couldn't say which would be better. I'd imagine you would know what size shafts you would be using that year, so the hub might not be that beneficial. I would say that 7075 is a little overkill though (and a little pricey too!) 6061 is plenty strong enough. I don't think any of the teams who have used those wheels have ever bent them.
