Make a silicone cast minus the air bag. Use casting resin for the wheel. Wrap in whatever you want.

You'll need to carve out the mold for whatever thickness you want the wheel.

Any ideas on what to wrap it with?

Alcentera, stretch vinyl, leather, whatever. Will probably need stitching to make it look cleaner. I think you can tint the resin too. Just trim, sand, and polish. Be all trendy and shit.

Rolls and Rolls and Rolls of electrical tape, and then make sure to zip tie the the end so it doesn't fray.

Lunch meat ill pay you to do it.

Electrical tape might be last resort. Or i can buy a hitman wheel!!!

i saw a bicycle handle wrap several years ago that could work...

jared420sx · 01-21-2017, 10:56 PM

I tried the wrap with the tennis racket attempt almost the same as the one you posted but plastic. Might give it another shot the leather. looks better.
Thanks for input anyone else have any expierence suggestions with this please add!
