to be honest, cost. the v's are around $160+ and the other are 115-130. The price isn't a deal breaker, but I figured if I could get a decent set of rims for cheap it would be ok. I bought the Kilo WT, I was planning on keeping the stock Alex rims + wider tires as an option (and some studs for winter) and have an extra set with some thinner width tires (25-28)
