Do be carefull on the replica wheels, one of the companies makes an unacceptable wheel. The webing between the lug holes and the hub hole is very thin and fractures. A racer I know showed me this on a set he had been running. Every wheel had four cracks on them, for a total of 16 breaks. Several of the breaks were multiple, with wide pieces of metal broken away, but being retained by the shape of the fractures. I wish I could remember which wheel maker this was, but I do not remember. |
