Title: SUMO Rims
Post by: Swivel on August 13, 2008, 09:23 AM

Another topic about rims (not rimming  ;D), 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  :daumenhoch:

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 :daumenhoch:
my 84 sport came with them on
