Memoization

The individual items in the picker (<WheelPickerItem />) are strictly memoized, meaning that they will not rerender after the initial render. Rerendering the picker items uncontrollably would lead to bad performance with large number of options. Item styles, animation functions and other parameters of items therefore must be static and changes to them after the initial render will have no effect.
