rims
 
Alright this is the last "what ___" thread I'll make for a while, really. Just a question, what kind of rims do you run/ recommend? I'm currently using open sports, but I'm lacing up some DA HU-7600s here pretty soon and I'm just trying to determine what rims to use. I like the looks of aero, deep rims, like deep vs, but I'm heard that they've got a bone jarring ride, which I'd prefer not to have. What do you suggest? Are any of the other velocitys good? What other companys? Open Pros are nice, but I'd prefer something without a machined surface in the back at least...

Deep V's are heavy. My Aeroheads are nearly a full pound less. If you care about such things.

Aeroheads seem really nice, and they also come in colors. They are more like CXP-22's in profile but I think are lighter.

Aeroheads are nice, so are the Dyads which are TOUGH. Tandem tough. But also are available in a similar range of colors as the Deep V's.

does anybody know where I could get a non machined fusion for the rear?

andre nickatina 10-02-07 11:52 PM

yes, i have a set of non machined fusions.

Iridestreet 10-02-07 11:59 PM

what color?

andre nickatina 10-03-07 12:05 AM

silver.

so have a set of powder coated aeroheads (without the machining), waaay sicker than deep v's in my opinion (in both performance and aesthetics).
