Was all up for buying some new BGM stainless steel satin rims they are out of stock........whats the next best split rim out there and who is using them?????
Also is wide rim and tyre on the back still a good thing/popular?
btw i,m not into tubless rims just seems like too much hassle.

The thread spacing on the studs isnt good so depending on the nut used the thread were so soft they crunbled as you tried to get them tight, i,m sure some batches are better than others but i had this experience twice so i wouldnt be buying FA italia again........
thats my experience so just keep a check.
cheers

I've tried the Evergreen one from Scooter Centre and Scootopia's own recently. The Evergreen is a good rim, but already rusting around the edges. The Scootopia ones take some beating in my opinion. Good rims with original features. What's not to like really?
