anyone tried them ?As my Dad used to say "Each to their own lad"
Like the idea of the replacable studs.....
+ The bead seating and safety lip looks purposefull.
'O' ring seal? Delivered with a quality bolt-in valve?
Guess with etch prime you'll only need to blast and re-paint them when you decide on a change of looks (or yr, caliper leaks on them). Would help mittigate the cost a bit!
If they are getting TuV approval they 'should' be faultless.
Thjere is always the 'fit' issue for different hubs tbd.
Look good bit of kit on the face though.

Looks like they're designed to be used with inner tubes.
Personally think it would've made more sense to make a decent metal split rim that's actually round and runs true and at an affordable price for those that prefer to use tubes.

They are split rims for tubes NOT tubeless. I've come to the conclusion that tubeless Lambretta rims are always a compromise and that using decent rims, tubes and tyres will serve you well. These do look to be real nice quality, but at a price!
Turn On, Tune In, Cop out!

Look well made, but isn't there a debate over the safety of stainless steel rims, something about the metal being too brittle? Be interesting to see how their TUV approval goes.

I spoke to the lad from SCK at the Eurolambretta. At the time I was more interested in their new electronic flywheel and Clubman type exhaust so I wasn't especially interested in these wheels. However, I do remember him saying that these wheels have rolled edges and are made in the same way that stainless wheels are made for Mercedes cars and with the same specification stainless steel. Don't quote me on this, but he might have said they are made by the same company.
