Meh. It looks better than it actually is. I've noticed that my printer tends to 'drag' a bit when I use cardstock, so that the wheels aren't perfectly round. It doesn't really affect the performance, but it is annoying.
I'd consider it if I could do it using thin sheets of lexan or acrylic.
I've been thinking of printing the wheels on 'sticker' sheets, to be put on plastic or metal wheels, and perhaps gluing the transparencies to appropriately shaped pieces of plastic. That would make a wheel that is durable (providing you laminate them to keep the print from wearing off), and more authentic.
The problem with that scheme is that I never have time to work on stuff like that
It's one thing to print a few sheets out and just cut them and pin them together, and quite another to fabricate the wheels when you don't have the tools (or the skills!) needed.
