Re: Andymark Plaction wheels vs IFI wheels

The performance wheels have noticeably more grip, partly due to lack of a draft from the molding that occurs in plasticon wheel manufacture, but also because the aluminum rim is not as large, and contacts the floor less than the plasticon retaining ring. I would go with performance wheels any day, as long as you keep to the 4 and 6 inch sizes they are not that much heavier or more expensive.
