Re: custom wheels

Find a sponsor with a CNC mill (thanks GEMS!).

Shamelessly borrow AM's 6" performance wheel CAD design (the old one without the big hole in it for the zip-tied tread) minus a few features.

Buy 5.75" aluminum wheel blanks for about $9.50 each.

Turn your sponsor loose.

Finish up the tread grooves and rivet holes yourself.

Save lots of money.
