[Fot] 5.5 x 13 Spitfire Wheels

[James Trudeau]

Thanks again to all my wheel advisors. I ordered 4 Gunmetal John Brown Wheels from JBW themselves (in Britain) late last Weds night. I received them this Monday! Very impressive speed and half the cost of new US sourced wheels. Packed like the Crown Jewels themselves with a foam hairnet to boot! They are almost too pretty to race, if not for the extra work, I’d be tempted to swap the rain/storage tires onto them!

Any comments on using bolt on stems in lieu of the rubber? (I was planning on bolt on as my other wheels have).
