yes the Racelites were pretty lite, but are now discontinued. We tried geting the last sets, but due to the discontinued status, they wanted to pull all the sets left back from the distributors.

The Bogart Drag On FLy are pretty good and for the price its a good wheel

I wanted lenso's, but good luck getting a set of those. I had a hard enough time getting these in time for BOTI. I didn't get wheels studs in time though, so I could even use the wheels last season. They have been sitting in my room for months just waiting to be used.

I wanted to get those when I couldn't get the lenso's, but they didn't have any in stock, so I would have had to wait to get them made.
