very nice, I might consider staggering the rear to a 16 inch, get a little more sidewall give for some added traction.

lol yeah, thats def the weight without the tire =P Its still an extremely light wheel.

And yeah cory i tried finding them in 16", but when u drop down to 16" the rim width jumps to like 15" :shock: way too much to shove in there.

I'm pretty picky when it comes to wheels, if u can find a nice plain 5spoke with big variance in sizes available please do suggest it :thumbsup:

I will make you wheels out of a clay mold then I will search high and low for the best and lightest components and alloys to use in these wheels, then I will reengineer rubber to be lighter stronger more sticky and give you more bang for your buck.

And I will do this for the sum of two tacos sir
