That is very heavy. Especially if you are having 6 of them. Last year, we machined similarly sized wheels that were about 0.7 lbs each and I still thought they were too heavy.
For tread, contrary to popular belief, I would say that incline conveyor belting is not the be all, end all of FRC tread materials. We had a 6wd setup last year, with the center ones lower, and wedgetop tread. I hate driving that thing. Too much traction (yes, there is such a thing). Anyway, we will not be using that tread this year.
