That's right, I forgot you were a BALLER! No need to get the "everyday" wheel as you'll be rolling VIP style every single day!

Scaras and Profounds. Wow.

He's already got a set of wheels that he's gotta wipe with a diaper. I suggest going for a low maintenance, sturdy wheel that he doesn't have to worry about day to day. 1 piece forged rims should do the trick - he'll be able to utilize that FI GS without slowing for every road imperfection.

Where is he anyways? Someone get Jonny in here...

How about the Yokohama Conoisseur? Not your everyday 1 piece forged rim:

Are those Advans forged? I thought they were cast.

They're Yokohama Conoisseurs, forged 1 piece rims.

Sorry guys, my mistake. They are cast. Whenever I see Mackin Industries wheels, I think Rays/Volks = forged.
