Your wheel pictures have been a major source of inspiration for us. Out of curiosity, what is the weight of one of your 2013 wheels with the tread attached? How wide is your tread, and how is the tread holding up?

At some point, we are going to have to make a decision about whether the benefits of printing wheels is worth the time it takes. Right now, we're just playing, to see what is possible.
