I still want a set of these, reminds me of my old bmx wheels. 1450g w/DT350 hubs, not too bad. Disc only, 22mm internal.

They look cool. If they're made well they can be very light and still be strong. The question is how they are on the inside.

I remember seeing a video about Koenigsegg wheels that look a bit similar. Hollow tube construction.

This is a picture I came across on the EIE Carbon homepage. They show a customer picture for their AR25TC25 rims. Looks pretty neat and they're supposedly 310gr clincher rims. :thumbup:

At first I didn't notice it until I looked a bit closer.

The front wheel is laced differently on each side, and it isn't a disc brake. Hmm... :shock:

I haven't seen short black valve stems before. I guess the wheels must be run tubeless then, right? The tires don't remind me of tubeless tires though. Continental classic...

Vittoria latex, Revoloop, Schwalbe Aerothan all have black valves
