Jay,
What I have noticed and am concerned about
is that the lightweight wheels I purchased
do not have steel inserts for the lug seats!!!
I am installing and removing them almost
every weekend. I'm using anti-sieze in the hope
that I lessen the galling that can occur.
So find out about if they provide inserts or not.
I belive both you can replace the center section
though.
And yes the Keizer require care!! But don't know
about the Real racing.
