We did use these wheels as replacements for our destroyed IFI 8" wheels. If using these wheels, I would recommend strengthening the spokes of the wheel. With aggressive driving, specifically Dukes of Hazard style jumps off the ramp, the spokes like to crack. We broke one wheel off during the semi-final matches in Archimedes and we also broke another at Mission Mayhem. Otherwise these wheels were great, especially in cost.
