Default Interesting Tidbit about Saucer Wheels

So I was just looking around at the parts catalog for our HCHIIs when I noticed the list price for those little saucer wheels that so many of us have grown to love. $416 for just one wheel!!! Compare that to the EX wheel list price of $256. Just some food for thought.

It's because it is a light weight wheel. Most wheels in this weight class cost around the same price.

Here a link to my 1st snow wheel/tire setup.

These were $69/each. I have another set on my other HCHII and some pics somewhere, but I gotta run. I'll look later.

Cheers, nf
