pre-made wheels

We're getting our's from McMaster, but the driver picked them out, so I'm not too familiar with what they provide.

Check it out at McMaster.com

Odds are that what you're looking for is not an off the shelf item, although there are places that will make them for you.

Do they have to be aluminum? I know you guys have used the skyway wheels turned down in the past with conveyor belting attached. If it's not crucial that the wheels be aluminum I'd just go that direction.

Our team has used skyway for the last couple years.

you can make your own.... you just need some aluminium pipe, some 1/4" plate and a rotary table... although it takes SOOOO much time... abt 2-3 hours per wheel... and thats with all the jigs and everything we made to speed it up... if you want a cool rim patter you need a CNC but if holes will suffice you can do that on the rotary table as well... we are probly gonna get ours waterjetted since milling them is going to take too long... or just use stock wheels ... but if you have unused students and an unused mill w/ rotary table making them is not especially difficult just time conusming!
