My team is looking for high-quality wheels that we will be able to shoot the Power Cells. We are currently using some 4" wheels like the ones we had on our drive trains, but they are unbalanced and a vibrating too much. We are having trouble finding high-quality wheels that are going to be balanced enough for the high rpm flywheel shooter we want to make. Does anyone have any recommendations?
With few exceptions, most wheels shouldn’t have a problem at any reasonable RPM. I know a lot of teams go for fairlane wheels and press a hub into them so they can be used on a live shaft.

Or if you don’t want to go to through the trouble of doing that these ones from WCP have the 1/2in hex hubs built in.
With a bit of testing our team has found that 4" Diameter 1 ½" Colson wheels work quite well, grippy and durable. Has the hex already in it too so no machining required.
