Too late for your Auburn Ed

You want some araya aeros or sun minstrel rims

there more 2000 onwards Ed :daumenhoch:

as gish said for around 94 you want sun rims (made in the usa) like chinooks, minstrals etc... or araya aeros, odyssey t1000 rims araya rb-17, 36 hole araya super 7x or the rare peregrine super pro like racing wheels etc...

just double checked my scans and in the year 2000 scan custom riders show sun big city rims for the first time with NEW next to them

so the city lites are even later, id say 2003 onwards  :daumenhoch:

Ed, they are 2003/4 at the earliest. However, they're a good rim and i like how they look. I have a couple of S&M's from the 90's using these rims. Get them stickers off and nobody will know.
