Anyway, what is the story on those wheels? I'd what are they covered in?
The wheels aren't covered in anything....they're solid rubber . A plastic center allows for a keyed aluminum hub to be pressed in (you can see all that in the picture). We are hoping for a little less bouncing when we turn this year. In past years we used pneumatic wheels, which caused us to bounce when we turn and made for difficult driving. Coupled with the "lowrider" mentality, they should be a perfect fit.
