Tires... The tires make the fatbike, the wheels don't really matter. The glorious speed over sand, good handling, and damping you're looking for comes from an ultralight casing, stupid wide tire. 3" is worst of both worlds unless you're riding slippery roots with Andrew. Cake eaters are too stiff, and tubes make them awful. You're so close to finding what makes crazy fatbike people love fatbikes it's painful. Get some 4.4+ Jumbo Jim's in speedgrip, and fly.
