After the consensus of the responses, I double checked and, indeed, I was mistaken. The rims are alloy and appear to be the stock rims. I don’t know how I got it into my mind that they were steel, but I apologize for the misinformation. Nevertheless, the fact remains that my brakes work very poorly in the rain. Would tektro 720 or mini v (tektro 926al) offer more power? I find it very hard to get my current Cantis dialed in. I can post pictures tomorrow of helpful.
