We ran the KOP wheels this year and weren't very happy with them. The older kit wheels that teams had were much nicer, I believe 2008. As a team, we switched our bot to colsons for demo's and such. The driving is much better on them and we figured if its about ~$60 or so bucks more for Colsons over KOP wheels. We'll go colson hands down.
