Re: pic: Alluminum wheel #1

Many teams use rivets along with an adhesive to hold the tread to the wheel. You may find it better if you cut the tread so that it slowly ends at a point, instead of just a complete horizontal cut. This will reduce the bunching of the material that happens when you rivet it to the hub.

Imagine the tread when spread out on a flat surface as a parallelogram instead of a rectangle.
