I just emailed the guys at JLB, asked them about arrival date and how many we need for a group buy. From what I read, these rims should weigh close to the same as the heliums, maybe a few ounces more. These are volk RE30 replicas.

stay tuned.

That was the quote I got from JLB for new. The Konig's were priced the same.

Shoot! They have 15" Rotas for $350 shipped.

What does it matter? They are both cast knock-off's. They are probably the same wheel except the Konig's having that ugly ass center cap.

i like both the rotas and the konigs, but i think the konigs are less open, so they will cover up more of the ugly rear drums....


what do you think about bronze on a SSM?

You should probably email rota and ask them. Show them theres demand for the RE30's in 15 and 16. I'd totally be down for a set of 16's. As long as they weigh like 14lbs or less... hey if rota can make 16" slipstreams... they can make RE30's in 16" for 14lbs or less.

im not sure if the spokes will be long enough for 16's... might look kinda stubby/weird.
