Carlos has a good point, the whole thing about a Nano is to keep it light and performing well, the intairco wheels are very very heavy when compared to what else is available elsewhere.

You know, I hear this statement every now and then that really is just not quite accurate. I thought I would set the record straight here by simply providing the weights of four wheel brands for comparison.
All of the wheel sets shown below are 3" sizing. First set is BVM (yes, I know I left the plastic but did not include the screws to balance it out), next is Intairco, then Airpower and finally, some new Pro-Link wheels soon to be released.
Take into consideration that three of these manufacturers tires are Solid Rubber (BVM is Foam Core wrapped in rubber), and Intairco has the most durable durometer rubber, weight difference is FAR from drastic at a mere 2oz.
