Looks good, sort of a prehistoric ice cave themed look? (mabye its just the render lighting...)

Thanks, I originally had fillets on the hex holes so that during cutting the bit could just go to that point then continue on. The must have gotten deleted in all my many fixes and I didn't notice. Do you think that with the fillets it would speed it up enough or should I still change to circles?

If you are planning on driving the axles, you are fine.

Direct drive wheels aka live axles (which your wheel looks like it is made for as there is no mounting hole for a sprocket) you are fine as you are.

I meant live axles. Sorry for the confusion, I must have gone brain dead while submitting this.
