Help with rims Rota Flights
Anyone know a good place to get Black Konig Heliums with good tires online? All I can find is silver and bronze. They few I found with Black did not resond to my emails so I really do not want to do business with them if they wont answer a question prior to buying.

Any place that has them in other colors should have/be able to get them in all colors.
Otherwise, those wheels are so cheap just paint em black.

Rep Power: 0 Thanks Boilermaker1. Are they ok rims? Do you mean cheap as in price or quality? If quality what would be good light weight rims.

Rep Power: 257 Price wise they are the one of the cheapest if not the cheapest you will find. I go thte black ones they are flat black, so painting other colors with paint would do it. I almost wish I got bronze, but I am notLOL

Rep Power: 400 I don't recommend them... mostly because I've seen A LOT of them crack. They're brittle and the spokes are too thin, leads to fractures, then it gets ugly. Problem is much worse with sticky tires.

Rep Power: 0 Thanks for the info. Sort of had my heart set on them but not that much if they have problems. Any light weight rims you would suggest? Not looking at spending alot. Although they say you get what you pay for.

Rep Power: 400 Rota and Team Dynamics are pretty popular and proven cheap wheels. Some of the other Konig wheels are fine, but Heliums are notorious for being too weak for hard use.
Fatter spokes are to the benefit of cheaper wheels because the casting tolerances and material consistency tend to suck.
