From what I remember when researching (before my dreams were stomped on) the minimums are pretty high.

Presicision Urthane has minimums starting at 2,500 units for a one-color print. And I think think each unit was 2.15, exluding printing plates and set-up.

PAD PRINTER, BRO!!!

The big daddy wheel mfr. has a minimum of 500 pieces, $2.55 per wheel, plus printing. If you want to do your own wheel shape, the custom molds start at $4K each.

here's a couple links:

http://www.precisionsportsurethane.com - 500 wheel minimum per size (125 sets)
http://www.creativeurethanes.com - same minimums.
http://www.eastcoasturethane.com - same minimums.

125 sets of wheels doesn't seem like a lot, but good luck getting rid of em' Wheels aren't as easy to sell as decks. I tried it, and have since started carrying Shitfire wheels, as there is nothing that comes close in quality, and I'd rather sell the best than just something with my name on it, ya know.

http://www.elascourethane.com/ (1000 minimum, IIRC)
http://www.eastbilt.com/private_label.htm
http://www.eastcoasturethane.com/index.htm

I can't make any recommendations, I haven't done the wheel thing. But for a lively discussion on it check out this thread.

Anyone know what the underside of this pad may look like or where to source some pads? Maybe I can find something similar.

Thanks.

or something with a bigger nip like this?



or how about no nipple? The one in my last post looks to have no nipple.

HAHA thats our charge wheel that are being printed there, unfortunatly those wheels were the worst ones I have ever ridden, to bad casue they could really do small quantitys etc. I think we did like 25 sets or something like that. But they were flatspotting by just looking at them.

What, they only offer shitty wheels? Can't you just upgrade to some higher quality urethane?

Eastbilt has 25 set minimums?
