I came up with these wheels for myself, to fit my Evolve CGT, I’ve yet to attempt a self-build, but love checking out what everyone else is up to, and one day I’ll probably have a crack.
I set myself the challenge of coming up with the best wheels possible, (and in a slightly bourgeois sense) money being no object, I didn’t want to compromise on anything.
To just do 1 set was a ridiculous price so I got a handful of each colour done, that way I could choose a few sets and release the rest to other like-minded Riders.
The wheels are CNC machined from 7075 T6 aluminium billet, (removing 78% of the stock in the process) media blasted and anodised. The Studs are Grade 2 Titanium along with the Nylocs being in the same material. The counterweights, (for the Valve) are 304 Grade Stainless Steel, and the bearings are Bones.
I’ve had the wheels sitting about since January, and thought I better do something about letting others enjoy them too.
Price wise I’d like to see my money back and cover the cost of the two sets I’m keeping, but they weren’t cheap to make, and numbers are limited. I doubt anyone will ever offer such a product again, as there was never any kind of financial justification to produce them, (I just wanted to).
So what will 8 pieces of highly machined aerospace alloy and titanium cost, AUD420 + Registered Postage, (and believe me this is cost + 2 sets)
Assembly is required, though all parts are included except the Loctite Bearing Retaining Compound.
Hi Grozniy, Yup to give maximum rigidity the sprocket is machined into the rear wheel half.

Thanks for the kind comment Riako, proud of them, and enjoy riding them.
Hi Skunk, very reminiscent of the ‘hodrod’ look. Slapped ‘High-Rollers’ on them to juxtapose the ‘Low-Rider’ vibe, + you Roll High on these Babies.

8 pieces you mean 8 halves of hubs, so 4 complete hubs for 420aud+ etc?
Sorry Grozniy, 4 wheels, (8 halves).
…And Hardware

They look amazing.
Would be cool to have a set in Chrome.
Thanks Skunk, I didn’t think of that, how about Black Chrome.

How did you finish the 3d printed enclosure? Sanded and painted or? Interested in what paint was used and other details.
It was a 3 part print. The connections were physical connections using two opposing bolt holes for a secure hold. I used acrylic cement to melt them together (mostly acetone) since it was made of E3d edge (Pet+).
After that the print was pretty rough. Lots of sanding (6 layer wall thickness, no concerns of breaking through). Lots of bondo, sanding, more bondo, etc…
Eventually it was silky smooth, no print lines, no seams. After that I used 2 coats of rust-oleum grey primer, and finished with a few coats of matte black, no sanding between layers.

Also please note that the battery is toast XD
cells at the ends took the brunt of impacts and vibrations, you can see one is starting to puff. Lots of water damage etc.
Not my best design, but it was my first big battery. Didn’t blow up, disposed of it after about a year.

Hahahaha! Perfect.
Did you spot weld and solder as well?
Spot weld on cell level and solder on top

Reason being higher current capabilities or something else?
U mean solder? Yeah better current rating and etc 
Yeah the additional solder - just trying to learn what the “etc” benefits are
