Wheel contest
Ladies and Gentlemen, start your CAD software!
I was randomly designing wheels in Inventor, and I was thinking about how stylish it would be possible to make some wheels. Then I thought, why limit the styles to my own brain. So here's a challenge: Design in Inventor a wheel. There'll be 2 size classes: 6 inch and 3 inch. The 6 inch wheel must be underneath .8 pounds in weight, and the 3 inch must be under .4 pounds. Post a picture or link to a picture of a wheel you designed in CAD. The most stylish wheel will win at the end! |

Re: Wheel contest
Not too prefrential on tread, so if you don't want to bother, don't. As far as weight, tread is not included.
Also, here's my submission: A 6 inch beauty weighing in at .720 lbs  Last edited by CraigHickman : 19-10-2006 at 23:42. |

Re: Wheel contest
Maybe someone will get inspired by these hubless wheels?
