If I'm buying wheels, AM Plaction wheels are great. The right price point, they worked well this year, tread changing was easy enough, and light enough.

My original question was intended in the context of "buying" wheels, not fabricating them. They ARE just wheels.

Or, for those concerned about the impact resistance of Carbon Fiber, how about some metal reinforcements in critical spots? If we were inclined to make wheels, this is the direction we'd be heading. A clear focus on the required capabilities of each part of the wheel, and then choosing the best material to meet those requirements, and finally figuring out how to join them together...
