Can anyone tell me what rims were used on semi pros, is there a brand name for them , and are they easy to find?

Cheers

ukai was the base rim on peregrines..from speedlines aka the old school ukai rim
then had the what we call traditional peregrine style made.

cool thanks

so I should be able to find some ukai rims not stickered as peregrine and use those?

if its a build around 87/89 then the old school rims will be good
you will struggle to find that many ukai peegrine rims as they are not around much.
but ano peregrines are around alot,6 rims were on ebay last week

I'm thinking they may be later rims I'm after, I should know coz I had a couple of sets of these wheels, but I'm not sure they had raised spoke holes like the OS ones?

it was only the hub configuration,semi sealed and ano rims that was different from super pros i think,or even just the hub you might even had them in chrome rim.
so yes you need the flat faced rims.

I think it's this rim, and a looseball hub with a holographic peregrine sticker. I bet these rims are the ones that are hard to find

those are the easiest to find and cheap to buy.

harris how cheap are they? as they are the same as super pro rims just minus the chrome and i can get em chromed for £25 each

thats what it costs me ,usually 20 ish per rim off the bay.
i never used them in the mid to late 90s only the chrome would do..the ano slipped on the pads.

firebird4130 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 10, 2010, 07:59 PM »

are they usually listed as peregrine rims or ukai?

harris · « **Reply #12 on:** January 10, 2010, 08:00 PM »

my first set came from pete hawkins in 93 irrc when he was running southsea skatepark, he gave me the wheels and let me pay £50 a week for em, 4 weeks later they were paid for
