Martin,
Cory is definitely right, we spent about $1500 plus shipping for a set of wheels for our bot, practice and rookie team.
They also weighed in at 1lb per wheel for a 6 inch wheel. Even with modd'd IFI wheels they were way tooo heavy.
For next season we will be making custom wheels unless "standard" wheels (2009) make a return.
