I'm considering ordering the Speedmind wheels as they come in an 8 pack and are really inexpensive, but I'm not sure about durability. I'm also considering Tamiya wheels as I've had good luck with them in the past.

I'm not a terrible drive but I'd like to have a wheel that can take a board hit or two without cracking
I ran the Gravity 6-spoke rims through three sets of rubber (acetone is amazing) before they finally cracked and were thrown away. Some at our track found the mesh rims to be harder than the 6-spokes.

The Speedmind wheels seem to hold up OK.
