Another topic about rims (not rimming

), what's the deal with these? Does anyone have these on their old school ride or even a show bike? Were they considered any good BITD?

I've been offered a nice set but just want to check 1st.

Cheers,

Matt

not rated BITD but i think they gained status late mid 80's thru to early 90's, good wheel for mid school race builds

my 84 sport came with them on

im not fully convinced they were original to the set up tho dude, but they did have the original snakebellies on so were prob used replaced around that timeline
