aggreed ..my point is that you can get a quality wheel both light and strong, anything can be broken with the right amount of effort..im sure bbs probably didnt put the effort in those modas that they do in their two piece wheels tho..the ones i had (bbs)never bent on 40's (tires not the drink). take for instance the typical 100$ jap wheel or off brands like say any golden wheel product you just dont get the quality. a good quality tire helps as well as proper air pressure wich is more criticall as you have less side wall (most people ive met forget this). currently im on 16's again with 40's and no problems and light or just as my stock stuff was...im still debateing on a set of fiskes tho, some of those in 17 maybe 18 would be sweet in my opinion....i know each his own and nah its not the jap look i think of it as but the super touring look. =) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Friday, January 28, 2000 6:08 AM Subject: Re: (no subject)
