Looks fine to me, maybe even stronger than the 5 spoke wheels?

The wheels in the link are Nylon/fiberglass, very strong. The wheels you posted were simply referred to as plastic. The may look similar but that my be all. Beware.

Look through the catalog to page 16. They may be shown in white but they are in fact black.

My wheels arrived on saturday and i bought some walmart tired and rims for them. 

Are you guys using the bearings in that wheel setup or just bushings?
