the Wheel and Dating PIE

The claim of similarity has troubled me for some time.   I read Greek well
and Sanskrit badly, and I think the claim has no foundation except (a) that
the PIE we reconstruct from Greek and Sanskrit looks remarkably like both,
and (b) similarities are superficially more obvious than between say Gothic
and Sanskrit, partly because the sound changes are more transparent.

I am surprised the claim has not been challenged and dismissed before now.
