Just too many solid COTS options, unless you have every part of your robot perfect, it's really a wasted resource to make custom wheels.
Sure are cool though.

Cannot agree more with this entire post.
We made custom wheels for a long time, and when we started looking at COTS options and the time difference between implementing them- it was a no brainer to go COTS.
They make for a fun project, and there are a ton of cool things you can do with them in terms of making them (machining, molding, printing, etc). For us, the effort is just better spent in other places.
