Well, alluminum would be ligher, but it would be harder to make a wield.
For pictures click on gallery at the top of your page and use the
search on the left. Search for 'BC wheel' or 'BC wheel plates'. Its
going to have to be strong, too.

I can sell you some for 20 bucks Canadian, plus shipping to anywhere in
the world.

They are about *_7_mm_thick_* aluminum, so light but really strong.

Mine are 1/4" thick steel plates and hold up amazingly well.

And instead of starting a new thread, does anyone know where I can get a
cheap BMX wheel for building myself a BC wheel? The cheapest I've
found online is around $35.00, including shipping. I know I should be
able to find one for cheaper (WaldoMart sells entire b*kes for $45.00).
I don't care about quality right now. I just want cheap. Quality can
come later after I decide if I want to continue or not.

Well you want a 14mm axle or it will bend pretty quickly so if you get a
wheel from walmart or something then it won't last very long and will
probably just be a waste of money. Maybe look on ebay for something
cheap though.

When you say it won't hold up very well, what do you mean? I'm pretty
light on my equipment. I ride a sun 28" and I've never had a problem
with bending the rim.
