hey there...

if u look at our wheels, we actually spent time to put grooves in them. we used a router at the machine shop. it took an hour to do all 10 wheels!

in the past, we used a utility knife to do it. it was the fastest solution. i've seen some using hacksaws, but that sucks.

y dont u find some material that you can attach onto the outside of the wheels? i've seen some people put screws on the wheels. ive seen other wheels that have screwed RUBBER around it. (screwed rubber would be like those things u'd find underneath computer cases)..

good luck though.
