the deeper dish rims will give you a more robust build..http://www.speedgoat.com/Catalog.aspx/Browse?Cat=C156
Ya know, I hate to be the bad guy but lots of times the shops want to sell you what they have, not what you
"need". As a clyde, we need stronger wheels. It's nice to support local shops but taking chances with rear wheels, you may be supporting them again sometime in the near future. Hey, I'm just being honest and speaking from experience and lots of problems at a lower weight than 270.
Deep V online, the rim will save a whole lot of heartache.
...$54 is a great price!
