<p>Composite casting wheels are disclosed. A plurality of spouts are removeably coupled to a rim formed of a composite material. The rim may be formed as a single unit of the composite material. The rim may be formed from a plurality of segments formed of the composite material. The composite material insulates molten metal contained in the rim and lowers a casting temperature of the molten metal. The composite material also prevents molten metal from freezing and/or sticking to the spouts and the rim.</p>
