yeah but have you ridden them? i don't really care about weight anymore, last "light" part i bought snapped. I admit they look dope but i've gotten mixed reviews on them.

A really good friend of mine rides it rear and he rides hard plus he has a bmx shop, so i'm quiet sure they will hold up!

Heard horrid things about the RS, I have a Cinema and it's strong and I love it at first I had my doubts but, after riding it I have no regrets. Then again I really don't like Animal therefor I may not be credible due to my strong disliking of the brand...

Sweet. Can anyone else back this up? i know the 777 are strong. i'm basically looking for something on the cheaper side and still strong. not to cheap tho, i was thinking about alienation delinquent rims but ehh.

Multiple things from people "tacoing" them to them being and I quote "uncomfortably flexible" then again I don't like Animal and have never ridden one but, In This thread there seems to be quite a bit of bad towards the RS... And the thread is only a few days old.

I love my Cinema and I have had really good experiences with GSport and Shadow Stuns I also had a good experience with a Demolition Zero... Just a couple rims you may want to consider.

I ride g sports. I see people at skateparks riding hard on the animals though. What color are you getting?

One of my friends has a 777, he never rides tho so i wouldn't know if its good. 2 of my friends have demo zeros, they're nice, they run them with really loose spokes too and the rims still manage to hold up. G-sports are amazing, from experience and from what i hear and see. i've never seen a shadow rim however

That's fresh man, it's a good choice honestly there are bad reviews on ever rim, no rim is going to last forever just get what you like.

for real. Thats why i was looking at the RS rim. It looks awesome. But the cinema is probably a cheaper and stronger choice, i'm gonna slap some white walls on whatever i get. hopefully it'll look dope

Animal have never had much luck with rims, Ive got some Eclat bondis on my current bike ive had them for a few years now still straight as an arrow taken some serious abuse too. I would reccomend Eclat rims to anyone, get the welded ones though, not the pinned ones.

I love Animal but that's the only thing I wouldn't ride made by them, their rims. I guess you can't knock it until you've tried it but I've heard a lot of bad shit about them and also, some friend of mine folded one...

its true what they say, you get what you pay for

get hazrd lites off dans same price as anml rs

Bullshit. I bought The RS hoping it would last me forever. It seemed promising made from 7005 AL and nice construction but it turned out to be such a piece of shit. It got out of true so much. Got flat spots running high pressure and overall looked like a cheap stock rim. Worst thing i ever bought. Get a Hazard Lite or that 777

go with the 777,,, if you got the extra few bucks go with a hazlite or gsport or fly

Like Animal but get 777 I rode a 777 for a little and liked it but then I sold it.

Ok, thats what i'm thinkin now. I wanna get a whole new wheel set so paying for 2 g-sport rims is much more expensive then 2 777's or 2 hazards. does anyone know how good the kink orion rim is?
