As a side note we used the colson wheels from robotmarketplace that come keyed and they were flawless however for $7 for the banebots wheel it is a much better deal.

Just remember, you will see a performance difference between the banebot wheel and the NPC wheel. Banebot's wheels come with softer rubber than the NPC wheels.
Depending one which wheels from BB you get, you will have different amounts of grip and wear. The 30A will be "grippyist", but wear the fastest. The 50A will be the one that has the lowest grip (of the BB wheels) but wear slower.
The NPC wheels are use a 70A durometer rubber. So ALL of the BaneBots wheels will have more grip, but wear faster as well.
This could also lead to eventual wheel changes on the BaneBot wheels if they wear too quickly for your liking, which could end up making them more costly than the NPC in the end.
