4130 is a metal:chromoly(chromium-molybdenum)it is an alloy(a combination of 2 or more metals). it is what good bmx bikes are made of. be happy that your bike is made of it. the other main metal, and it is used to ,make cheaper bikes, is high tensile steel. high ten is heavier and weaker than chromoly.and no C303 rims are not good rims.they are just standard issue cheap single wall rims.

your bike is most probably not entirely chromo. being a gt it is probably only a chromo downtube or main tubes.

Thanks again.

I'll wait to see if I develop a taste for bmx proper then maybe change bits and pieces.

I doubt I'll be doing anything to make the rims crumble this early in my learnings.

What's the difference between a Southern Californian and anything else?

Cheers.
