Jay,

What I have noticed and am concerned about
is that the lightweight wheels I purchased
do not have steel inserts for the lug seats!!!

I am installing and removing them almost
every weekend.  I'm using anti-sieze in the hope
that I lessen the galling that can occur.

So find out about if they provide inserts or not.
I belive both you can replace the center section
though.

And yes the Keizer require care!! But don't know
about the Real racing.
