Could you please give more detail about what you mean by performance and quality in this context?

I don't know why anyone would specifically go for larger mecanum wheels; this past year 4464 used 8'' AndyMark mecanums because they were donated, but we honestly would have done better to just buy a set of 6'' given the problems we've had with them.
What kind of problems did you have with the 8" wheels that you did not have with the 6" wheels?
