There are variations within Florida. I live in the extreme NW corner (panhandle) where you are constantly going up or down up to 10% and 200' +; not much, I know, by standards from other parts but hardly flat. I'm from north Georgia and a trip back up there had me on a mile + 20% grade. Almost killed me.
The stock wheels are by Maddux.
