MB-0000-6DB6-V0NJ — one of the millions of possible wheels you can create.
Design your wheels and order them in minutes.
Each detail is yours
Size, spoke count, counterweight reach, crankpin position, traction groove, blind or flanged. All geometry is built from your inputs each time you move a control.
The quote is instant
Pricing recalculates on the 3d model you are looking at, from its real printed volume and how many fit on a plate. This eliminates any wait time previously associated with obtaining a quote.
No design fee
No longer do you have to pay for design time. Wheels are generated, so a one-off costs the same per wheel as a repeat — the only thing that moves the price is the volume of resin and the quantity printed.
Every wheel keeps its code
Each design packs into an easy code, like MB-36EB-P3CJ-V8XX. Keep it, post it, or give it to someone else — when entered back in, it generates the identical wheel.
