As above Tom,there alloy proclass 1's / 2's(the only dif between 1's and 2's was the hubs sealed hubs on 1's these where on calis etc and sealed bearing hubs on 2's these where on pro class's) They where Nos,i sent them to customparts on here and the striped off the original silver(soft anno),polished the bare alloy and then re-annod(soft anno)them black,that took just under 2 weeks,then i laced them to new suzue sealed bearing hubs and new stainless spokes,which took a couple of hours.

Gotcha...thanks!  That is what I wanted to know...above you only wrote "Nos silver ones".  I did not know what you meant by that.  I wanted to know if you had sent him the 1st series PC rims which were chromed or if you had sent the 2nd series which were alloy or maybe even a series 3 hard anodized set to be refinished.

The sealed bearing hubs were found most often on the "1's" (chromed hoops) which originally came with the Pro Class model.

I have found more non-sealed bearing hubs on the "2's" (alloy type hoops) which came on the experts, californians etc.

As for the "3's" hard anodized...the only sealed bearing hubs I know of came on the Eric Rupe Signature model...all other models had the hard anodized with non-sealed bearing hubs (californian, expert, 10th Anniversary etc.)

Tom when you say chromed ones do you mean the still ones? if so these where called pro steel and not pro class,pro class 1's and 2's are the same rim allot(soft annod) then theres the pro class 3 which is alloy but hard annod.

LOL...no...when I say chrome...I mean the original Pro Class rims ("1's")...look below....they were chromed aluminum not steel.  The "2's" were then a dull alloy look.
