Faux Wheels

Hmm, that's an interesting thought, you make a compelling case.  I touched one and it felt more like plastic than rubber, though it was pretty brief touch.  Also I'm not sure about the size.

Lego studs are 8mm, or 4==32mm, so maybe 85mm for the sphere in this picture. (that was a really rough measurement, I might be able to find a better picture with a better "ruler") The website I saw offered 2.5" & 3" black Kong balls, though I'm not sure I trust their measurements.  3" seems about a cm short though.  Maybe my measurements are off.  Savage, did you get good measurements in the 3D model?

I also feel like they have a slight texture, unlike the smooth Kong balls - however both my feel test and the texture could have been fooled if they were painted.

Curious why you say they aren't light?


To be clear, I just called out the Omni - in this pix it's almost 45 degrees to the camera, so it's not a good ruler in this photo.
