Extensive R&D has shown by eliminating embossing, we are able to manufacture these wheels with more consistent density and tolerance. This small change in manufacturing also allows us to print clearer on the smooth sided wheels. There will be a transition period where shipments might include some wheels with embossing and some without. We are constantly working to provide the highest quality wheels possible for your applications.
