Damn they match your bike nice!
I dropped about 1.5lbs from my bike by going with the Elites/GP4KS/Race Lites combo. But I still want to go lighter.
I thought these would be the ultimate bling wheels for me, but they turned out to be so good that I want better now.
I never thought I'd be considering spending more on a set of wheels than I did on these ($600. out the door installed).
But damn! The addiction is overwhelming. Now, I see no problem in spending at least a grand for my next set of wheels.
Personally, I think the placebo effect is worth it. What the hell else am I going to do? I don't smoke, drink or do drugs.
