Hi,When I was growing up Ukai was the same to Araya as OGK was to Skyway. Good but, not the best. I'd go with Araya :4_17_5: Cheers Dave :)

thanks lads thats the advise i was after. looks like it's going to be araya's 7x's. i would go for tuffs but i put them on my master and i think race bikes look better with spoked wheels, mind you i've just spotted a set of pro class rims on e-bay,mmmmm!! ;D
sometimes i wish i had gotten into a cheaper hobby like restoring classic aston martins or offshore power boat racing..
