That is a really cool project, something that most, if not all, teams could do feasibly in a short period of time. Thanks for the post.
You got it right. This stuff is something like an 85 or a 90 on the Shore D scale, which is very rigid. The fiberglass adds some extra rigidity.

EVERY SINGLE TEAM IN FIRST can do this. For teams that like to use the same type of wheel from year to year this may be something to consider. If you invested in a multi cavity mold, a team could feasibly have all of their wheels for the season in a couple of hours.

You'd think 125 would go with red wheels though.
Haha, these are 4 inchers, so I don't think they'd fit what you guys are using. Someone accidentally threw out the red dye :-/. We plan on using some withholding allowance to make some red ones. Oh by the way each one weighs less than 3 ounces.
