Honest truth

my friend got the tungsten back wheel and the cassette went to complete shit within 3 days

because they are overpriced,

especially the complete wheels.
all you really pay for is the packaging and the team.

some people enjoy paying for a well presented product

Over priced stock hubs. The rims are ok, but no better then hazards.

this

i have front and back tungsten on one of my bikes. back has held up great. front is so out of true and the bearings are shot and i didnt do a lot of riding on them, nor was it heavy riding. for the same price i feel i could have gotten better wheels. just my opinion

i like them.

I personally don't like mine because it cracked. Like i've stated before, I never bother to take pictures because i threw it away before i even got home.

I like the team and i'm pretty sure they go through the rims like it ain't shit. We don't find out though.

I've never bothered asking garrett why he always has different colored rims, but i think i may know why..

haha yeah.

i know a buddy that had a cinema front rim on his stock vex and the bearings were shot after a few weeks but that might just be because of it being a stock bike so they just throw on cheap shit.

he didn't leave gsport for the shit rims or the pay
both Corey and Nathan were on the cinema team so he made the switch to cinema cause he wante to ride with his mates
there's an interview and he specifically says that

their nice

One guy I know crack the rim, not complete wheel, after 3 weeks of riding.

Only kids I see buy the completes at the local shop are the die hard cult fan boys. Amusing at the least

cinemas are good, they do the job and they are well worth the price. strength too.

I've had them, threw them out of true in hours, and would never fucking touch them ever again. G-Sport for life.

I've never had them, so I'm not going to argue. I'm just going to say that if you "threw them out of true in hours," it sounds very much like an improperly built wheel to me, either because of too much or too little spoke tension. Wheels from the factory often come under-tensioned. I would at least check the tension and true prior to riding them..

im sure he'll stay with both, they normally try to get as many sponsors as possible (a frame sponsor, parts aponsor, wheel sponsor, and clothing sponsor)

nathan probably runs eclat hubs laced to cinema rims, as for dak, i dont know
