Re: pic: Team 1093 wheels
Each wheel set ways about as much as 2 wheels and hubs combined (of course), i dont know how much that is but we certainly aren't trying to cut weight. The best thing about these are the cost, only about 3$ per wheel for the tread/glue/screws. IFI wheels are what, 80$ or more? And they can be easily pealed off the glue, it just ensures that they dont shift around side to side on the wheels. Only slight modification is needed on the individual wheel hubs to allow them to fit, and you need to get longer hub screws.
