Our traction wheels came in the 2008 kit. So we didn't spend any money on them (besides registration), and they took 0 hours to make.

The kit wheels are highly under-rated.

I see custom wheels as more of a fashion statement then a practicality. They certainly are impressive and cool Props for making awesome things.
