Really? That's pretty cool. Didn't know that. Thanks!

Depends on how you use them. The wider the wheel, the harder it is to turn. With blue nitrile you have a lot of grip on the carpet, meaning a lot of turning scrub when you try and turn. So unless you're really experienced with them, you may find trouble turning with blue nitrile and wider IFI wheels, compared to the thinner plaction/performance wheels.
I've never had experience with the 1" width IFI wheels, so I can't say anything about them, but I've had experience with both wider ones, and plactions.
