Re: make vs. buy wheels

the point about cost to machine own is in large part a factor. aluminum plates that we ordered and the time it takes to machine is much much more and much much longer. Teams will factor in their cost vs performance vs learning experience.
On another note, thanks for the update on the new andymark wheel. We may go with that on our prototype base.
