@VTwintips: I made a proto using birch ply from home depot... I can email you a picture of the difference... it's awful!

I did consider this, however with the hub widths being variable it's not entirely possible to have specific measurements on the side indicators too. At the moment it's just a matter of ensuring they're the same on each side... (eg. -3.5 on the left & on the 3.5 right)
* Also note that some wheels require an offset

All plywood runs the risk of warping, and the most common type of warp in plywood is bowing. Baltic birch is not immune, it’s still a wood product. However, Baltic birch has the odds stacked in its favor much better than other plywood, especially in 3/4″ thickness and the fact that it's cut down to smaller sizes. 3/4″ Baltic birch in particular won’t change much in width or length, that’s why it’s great for jigs and fixtures that need to maintain accuracy over the years.

@pakleni: The main gripe I have with these ones is the inability to centre (dish) the rim without the use of a dishing tool... and that's how the Unwobbler was born!

I've got access to a Shopbot. I'm no *real* machinist but it gets the job done!

I drew inspo from these! Unfortunately it doesn't allow you to centre (dish) the rim if you are building something from scratch, or prevent you from pulling the rim too far to one side. I do love the simplicity though!
