Wheels: Metal or Plastic?
Last year we used the AndyMark plaction wheels to good advantage. In previous years, the metal IFI wheels were quite good as well.
I'm wondering what others think, in terms of pros and cons, of each of these wheels.
Plastic: They don't break, but the thin lip holding the tread on sometimes chips off. Riveting is not as easy. Driving on pavement chunks them out severely
Metal: Not inexpensive. Never had one bend, but tread *seems* to wear faster. Easy to rivet. Tread takes more brunt of pavement. Seem heavier.
Your thoughts?
