That's really wide. Even the wide SIP ones are only 3". Will it fit?
No decent photos.

I think the 3.50x10 just relates to the tyre size and is not the actual rim
looks like it comes with deep nuts ..... but who knows if you would need extended studs
I`d like to see a set
to be honest I`ve been expecting them ....it doesn't take long for the far east to catch on.....mind who know where anything is made these days

I would still like to know about the pinasco tubeless rims, split rims without a tube, must be a winner although more expensive. I think I may have to buy a set to see how they are.

Here you go GLscoot, I've been looking at these for a while now for a project I have on the go. I'm not quite sure about the cast in lettering on the sides of the rim.

Seen that video, I agree with the embossed lettering as I would prefer the polished aluminium looking rims, it doesn't look so bad on the black rims. Im wondering about the 'o' ring when you try and put the tyre on, I think there will be a chance that it gets dislodged and damaged.
