Yeah 7am start aint no problem there.

 

7am start is perfect but optimistic, wheels roll 7:30

Check if it has sealed bearings, can't see any reference to it in the specs. Also make sure the bearings are available locally.

Are they  cheap enough to warrant not looking locally? As say a set of Spanks, etc....

The hubs have sealed bearings.

They are a cheap option for wide wheels at R2600

That is cheap yes!!! 

The way I see it is that the hubs are the priority, so check engagement pawls too.

But for that price you looking at used trance wheels so its a good deal. Just remember shipping and customs. Plus the weeks of waiting for the goods........
