Well the wheels, and any other parts we plan to do, are to check fit. Also, it's nice to be able to take it and show the team what the wheels will be, rather than a CAD drawing. It's hard to convince my team to do anything new doing the off season, so it helps.

Well, i'll have the wheels done saturday and post them.


I like the vex wheels too... too bad their illegal : / (even though i know you have no intention of using them in competition).
