In need of a custom cut wheel.

In need of a custom cut wheel.
I am looking for someone to cut either a 23" or 26" front wheel for me (prefer the 26"). I do not have a CAD drawing of the wheel I'm after. I do have a 21" version though. I'm not opposed to using the hub I have over again if need be. I have contacted a few of the wheel manufactures and they have no interest as I suspected. The wheel I have now is from a manufacture who is no longer manufacturing wheels. So if the wheel can't be duplicated due to some sort of patent, I'm not opposed to the percentage of change that needs to be done to be legit. With all that said I'm looking to keep this real. Meaning if a custom cut single wheel is going to cost me what a pair of off the shelf wheels cost than I'll go that route with a new pair. This would allow me to unload what I have and recoup a few pennies.

So who is cutting wheels or knows of someone who is?

Any chance of getting it prior to Daytona Bike week?

A 26" front wheel? That's huge.

I don't know if he is still around, but look up CNC Wheel guy. That is his user name. Maybe he can help.

There was a guy in Sacramento Ca. that had a good rep, you might try searching for him. Honestly I think your better of with an off the shelf set. I doubt you'll find a 23" or a 26" though.
