I am not sure what kind of traction you could get from those wheels but we had great success using wheels from Skyway... I am not sure if it has been announced yet but they have several types of wheels with special prices for FIRST members... very durable...reasonably priced...
If its on the list... they might have something else that they could provide too..

I have the utmost respect for them...

To contact them

http://www.skywaywheels.com/

check out the website and click on the FIRST area.. it will give you this number (1-800-332-3357) and you can call and they will fax you the price sheet... I talked to a very nice person named Daniel...
Make sure you have a fax number ready to give them...

I hope this will help you!!

Best of luck in the GAME this year!!!
