That's about all the info I have, unfortunately. So, I can't comment on the exact material, who the supplier was, or what their results were. Just another note, they are not using the IFI wheels this year. The wheels are custom made from pipe/tubing and welded end caps. Very slick.

Ben's got this right. The McMaster stuff just looks similar. 
All I'll say is look and do some testing like we did.
