Also make sure you get a 4wheel alignment too. My front tires were bad out of alignment on my s10, and i broke about 8 spokes out of a wheel.

TIGHTING? how do you do that?

Depens on if you have spinners, or bullets. The spinners, you just hit with a rubber hammer. The bullets have a special tool to tighten them.

ima have the spinners so IF YOU HIT THEM THEY WILL STAY AND NOT FALL APART?

plus how long do spoke rims usually last?

..... fuk u

Its the internet dude, dont take it so serious.

Ive been told cheaper spoke rims are more apt to leaking. They are like any other rim, dont go running all over curbs and you wont have to worry about them falling apart.

what leaking?

Its when air ceases to stay inside the tire/wheel and excapes. Its most common on cheap china spokes, these are usually the ones that go to crap as well.

BUT i want to know if they make ******* in your tires, do they break spokes off when you hit pot holes? etc.

you dont have davins, if you did you wouldnt be lookin for spokes. the only thing spokes relate is that you were too cheap to buy real wheels. it would be my first option if i was in that position, but i am not so i dont. unless you were getting center gold daytons with custom engraving then you are just a cheapass.

NOW WHICH IS CHEAPER

LOL I STAND CORRECTED.

ONLY REASON I HAVE DAVINS IS because my brother had some then he bought a truck and sold them to me for 500 with tires.

THAT was after i bought rvms but i sold the rvms TODAY.
