The following is all Greek to me, but according to the Diamondback website, the rims are...."32h SSW700 Double Tunnel Alloy." I'll take this info along when I go to Performance in case they need it. Thanks for the input Craig, I appreciate it.

Well, that is encouraging information. Thanks, I appreciate the info.
