I'm adding new wheels to my sled as I recently had the plastic ice age but the bearing became loose on the wheel.
Look for thoughts on either option.

Ice Age Hellfire 8" wheel vs TKI 8" billet aluminum wheels

Tki 9” on my boost have been great.
Don't use an all aluminum wheel unless you never ride places that might have some gravel or rocks in the Spring. Short rides and they can be destroyed.
Otherwise they look great.

also look at BMP Backwoods
Ran all aluminum wheels since there were some. More choices out there than what you listed but they all go round and round.

The only destruction I've seen from gravel is the powder coat
Have you seen a wheel come apart?
No, just completely pitted on the drive surface with the powder coating damaged too. If you want a blingy wheel you don't want to see this happen. I use oversized plastic wheels and don't get this damage. The large plastic wheels are heavier than stock though where to aluminums might be similar if cut out sufficiently.
Spent many years going to billet. Having icing issues. Getting mad. Going to plastic. Breaking wheels. Grt mad go back to billet.
Enter hellfire wheels. Been running them since they were available and haven't had a single hiccup with them. Best of both worlds.

They look nice, expensive but maybe worth it?
I'd say so. They checked all the boxes of reliability function and style. Basically the only option at this point I'm aware of thst can even do it. Honestly they seem cheap given the added mfg complexity.
