Handmade Wheels

I finished the wheels I was machining for part of a school project I'm working on. The wheels turned out really nice. I had to make them custom because what I needed for the project was essentially a wheelchair wheel with disc brake rotors. It has a 15mm axle sticking out of one side, and beefy bearings to take up the uneven load caused by clamping onto the axle at just one side of the hub. Pictured here is one of the wheels without the disc brake rotor installed.
