How thick are the spokes? To me it seems you could get away with them being about half as thick.

Agreed and why not make the hub smaller if your going live?

On these wheels (the one under the one standing up), there is a mini hub instead of a lightening pattern around the hub. Try it out in CAD and see if you lose more weight that way.

I agree with RC here. If you are going to drive it with a live axle, your interior hub can be smaller, those 5 interior slots can be omitted, and your spokes can all be longer.

Keep up the good work. It takes guts to put your design out here to be critiqued. Good job.

Sincerely,
Andy Baker
