So Ive been working on making a wheel design for a new set of wheels 61/4 in wheels to be precise. Thing is i was in spired by a few things and cant decide which is my favorite. They're all inspired by wheels ive seen in real life. Anyways, it'd be fun to see what you guys like best. Number them from 1 to 6 left to right top to bottom. And place your vote.

I'd choose 4 or 5. Something about the minimal spoke look I really like.

I like #6 but it looks time consuming so I vote for a solid face yellow wheel |

I guess I'll reveal the wheel face of my choosing. #6 was a really close contender, but in the end I'm kinda glad I didn't pick it (I'll tell you why right now). I drew all of these wheel designs in adobe illustrator. The program is vector based like most CAD programs so I figured a cut and paste would be easy enough to convert into the needed file for cutting. It didn't work..... bummer. Basically I wasted a bunch of time cleaning up the hangers and errors, because I had to reconstruct the whole thing in Turbo CAD. Anyways, I had to experiment for a couple of hours to figure out how to get the the lines to meet up. Since Mr. Dlux is going to cut them for me I hope the DXF files are pretty close to flawless (it'll save him some time). Anyway now that story time is over I picked design number 4 I'm leaning heavily towards the black coarse g10 which is rough kinda gun metal looking material. These wheel faces get all scratched up pretty quickly so I'm hoping the rough look will hold longer than the smooth sheen finish. When I get all my gear I'll share pics for sure!

Got some new foams from crawler innovations to go with new wjeels and tires! Glued some window screening on the od of the wheels to keep the foams consistant between the cross braces. Its taken pretty much all day to get them together, but wanted to give a shout out to C.I. for their great customer service. I already ate the gum.... and this will be the only pic of the foams out of the tires.
