Material typically runs about $15/lb. Might sound like a lot, but that's a lot of material for a lot of parts.

Its sounds like you need a STL or a high end additive printer to get the strength necessary for wheels. Are 3d printers material runs about 30$ a pound and it isn't very good(Bits from Bytes). Are they lighter than the equivalent milled from aluminium?
