Re: custom wheels
Most teams use either the roughtop or wedgetop belting available from McMaster Carr (Page 1189 of their catalog). You can get up to 24" width, so as RobJ said, design your wheels how you want and cut the tread the desired width.

Re: custom wheels
Look at "incline conveyor belting" on mcmaster. The roughtop and wedgetop are the most popular. Wedgetop is only available in gum rubber (although, a team at LA had it in black SBR from a canadian distributer) and the roughtop is available in many more, but nitrile, SBR and gum rubber seem to be the most common.
The different materials determine the thickness, so just look on mcmaster for whatever you want (most are .25-.31 iirc). |

Re: custom wheels
Ours is 0.75, the year before that 0.625. We use blue nitrile conveyor belting from McMaster Carr.
