I have the X2...I feel it is a bit slow(depends on terrain!) Yep that i2 modified with new rims and tires will go faster...But as for beating on or catching air intentional or not...no clue how it would do...
I have i2 rims with irc tires... it is slower and noticeable....And you really feel the cracks on the sidewalks...works great for a bus tho....
I don't think it is a cheap endeavor to get rims tires and grab bars and fenders....IDK $800 or more?
Tell us what you do, and how it works out.

I would also like a set of i2 wheels for indoor use, but since they are smaller than the x2 tires I don't know if I can live with the reduction in speed. No, I don't need the speed for indoor use but it wouldn't be used exclusively indoors.
I've never ridden an i2 but from what I gather they are less forgiving on bumpy terrain.
I ride offroad a lot. If I get an i2 and convert it to an x2 will it be frustrating to ride offroad? Or should I stick with an x2 and just live with the speed reduction when riding the i2 wheels? Is there another tire/wheel option that would be practical for indoor use but be larger than the stock i2 wheels?
