Here are the necessary materials for crafting Wheels in LEGO Fortnite:

  • Flexwoods
  • Flexwood Rods
  • Lumber Mill

To obtain Flexwood, you'll need to cut down the Cactus found throughout the Desert Biome. Flexwood Rods require acquiring the Lumber Mill, which demands Eight pieces of Wood and 15 pieces of Granite. Upon obtaining the required materials, proceed to your base and interact with the Crafting Bench to unlock the Lumber Mill recipe. Once crafted, the recipe for Flexwood Rods becomes available. It takes two Flexwoods to craft one Flexwood Rod.

With the necessary crafting items in hand, it's time to make the wheels. The crafting process for each wheel type is as follows:

  • Small Wheels: 1 Flexwood Rod and 1 Flexwood
  • Large Wheels: 1 Flexwood Rod and 2 Flexwood

Note that there are only two types of normal wheels: Small and Large. After acquiring Flexwood, craft Flexwood Rods using the Lumber Mill to unlock the wheel crafting recipes. Access the Toys Menu, locate the crafting recipe, and hold down the required action button to obtain the wheels.
