Re: make vs. buy wheels

This past year, we used two piece beadlock wheels to clamp the tread on. It was much easier than riveting and found it to be advantageous for changing tread. It was worth it for us to machine our own, but next year, with the new AM two piece beadlock wheels, there won't be much of an advantage for us to make our own. Andy has us sold on it.
