Trials Dave Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 hey.ive had mine for a little while now. they've took some abuse. ( rimmed out on rails and walls etc) and so far so good.they are light as a feather, front rim is double walled, really thick sidewall ( double thickness so im told )big holes in them aswell, much bigger than the koxx.i say go for them, with out a doubt.best drilled rim around Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koxx1 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 They look mint, a mate of mine has a pair he has the silver/polished ones i'm not really sure if they are polished i can't really remember sorry and a little question of my own, how wide is the rear echo 06 rim because it looked pretty fat to me.
