This is a pix on their web site is of the 3/4” diameter size but they will cut in other sizes. I had 1” and 5/8” diameter wheels cut...

update...11-17-2018...

good morning...

the wheels were glued to small nails with epoxy cement before painting...the two bases are complete but not trimmed to length yet...that's the coach window in the foreground...most of the other parts are in various stages of primer and paint...
