Sample wheels were produced. They had some porosity problems which is very common with mesh wheels on the first test samples produced. They require a few more days to make tweaks to the mold to fix this problem. Porosity is caused by air in the mold in narrow passages (like the thin spokes of a mesh wheel). By adding more material to the spokes they will solve the problem, then they will machine off the extra material after it comes out of the mold to bring the wheel back to its original specs and weight.
The samples I'll be receiving are et20
