What is everyone's preference for rims?

[MegaMang]

I'm looking at changing my rims this winter.  What is the preference and why?

Mine are Falcon. Bassett is pretty good. I think Circle has a sale going on.
Here is a link to an old thread about wheels:

I have been using the plain Bassetts, for some reason I havent lost a right rear with them yet, always do with the painted Trap's

I thought you were using Aero rims?

  I did say that in an old post on wheels. They had been in storage for so long, I forgot.
No, They ARE Falcon.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Any idea on the weight of the falcon rims?

[justfreaky]

I think they are about 15 lbs. each.
I am using 8" wheels, Don't know if that makes much difference though.
For those that don't already know, My car is a Dwarf and NOT INEX Legal.

So you've had enough ribbing about your car now?

I think I'll try to find some info on all these rims from their manufacturers.  Weights, offsets, prices, etc.

Remember the 36 pound minimum rule when wheel shopping....dont know what the BFG tire weighs, but the Marsh wheels are 4 pounds 4 ounces lighter than the Bassetts...something to check into (Hint: STEVE!). Also , from the rule book: "offset
of 3” to 3 1/4” from back rim edge to back of wheel center
is permitted."

  Brand     Weight (lb)   Cost (USD)
  Aero        13         65.99
  Bassett     16.25     66.10 (black, silver)  101.25 (chrome)
  Marsh     12     59.95
  Falcon     13.0     61.99

Would that be the MRW 15-10137?

I dont know what the part munbers are.  Most guys use the all black, and one guys runs the black rim with the chorme center, which are cool.

Go to NorthernOhioLegends.com and see the banner for Buckege Legends / Dennis Knox. I am sure that he can tell you. Or sell you some. He should have them in stock..
