Hello everybody.
I love all the pneumatic rims out there, however I missed the spokeless wheel design, thats why I started working on my own design.
Originally started together with my 3 link design and to fit the gearbox that goes on it, i decided that maybe these rims have more potential than only my build.
The design:
The current size is 6*2 and inner dimensions are modeled after the chinese rims.
All pieces are mirrored and the same, therefore machining costs are greatly reduced. Some work by hand has to be done though, such as tapping the holes for the bolts for now.
The wheels are supposed to be THICC, so a little bit of extra weight is added to them in the hope of extra ride comfort and not breaking. the two sides will weigh aprox 260g according to Solidworks. The bearing distance is standard and makes it so that they fit all non lengthened axles.
Now this is a work in progress and I would like to hear if people are interested in these and what size.
Also please dont refrain from giving input what you like/dislike, I would greatly appreciate it.
And if you would like all the sizes and dimensions I used to judge i can send you the files in PM.

Now I will print these first to test the shape and to see if everything fits together.
Im thinking of maybe a bolt pattern that fits already existing hubs. but if not, I will make sure to make fitting pulleys for them.
Everything here is a work in progress and can be changed!
Edit: the final result of this project and an interest poll.
So the hubs are finally quoted! we are planning to sell these around £180. super exiting!
To see how many people are interested and what colors are preferred I opened a google form.
