They're rebranded Weinmann DP18s laced to Formulas.

130 bux seems like a good deal for weinmann's tho

oh but like gobby said, a step down from velocitys. they arn't bad though for a commuter/street track build.

If that's your budget, the Weinmann or rebranded Eighthinch version is a tough value to beat.

Higher quality rims at very comparable price. Unless you are picky about colors I would advise getting these instead.
