New Rims

I am thinking of buying new rims for my bike, i own a black and red XG STOMP (picture below) and i was wondering if those 144 spoke, gold rims (picture below) would look nice on my bike ??

also if you know any bicycle rim website or suggest any nice rims on this bike please include it in your post

FuzzyRyder hasn't taken his medication, so just ignore him. If you are looking for performance, don't get those rims, as they do belong on a lowrider. If you are looking for some bling bling on a bike that's only ridden for transportation, then get them. Expect to get laughed at though.

Perhaps he's just a kid that doesn't know better. Go easy on him.

Definitely get them - you are quite clearly in need of some bling in your riding style since actual skill or brains completely eludes you.

Just like there are some people that only race, and don't do tricks, there are others that just ride their bikes for transportation. I still say cut him some slack until he does something really annoying.

It's unlikely that they'd ever get out of true. Tensioning is another story - that would be a nightmare.
