Would these rims be good for a rear BMX freestyle rim like could it handle the impacts for what i do because on danscomp it says its a race rim so i dont know if it is strong or not.

This is very brief but,
You wont regret spending a few extra $$$ for:
- Odyssey hazard lite $44.99 on danscomp (compared to the $37 for thesun envy lite)
- Odyssey quadrant
- Or even the cinema 777
Also, If you can afford to get some G-Sport rims, most people would definitely recommend them.
PLEASE DONT WORRY ABOUT THE WEIGHT OF RIMS!!!

This! I've run more alienation rims than anything else and I've never had problems. I know one person who hasdeviants efrront and back and literally hasn't trued them sinceDecember and they're still good. and anyone i know who has then rides street and would recommend them over any other rim in that price range. I'm considering getting a set. when my wheels die of course if you have the money go for gspots or odysseys but for the price of one of those rims you can get tw deviants.

Alienation 7ups are on sale for $30.
I've never really liked alienation but got these rims a year ago to try them out since they were so cheap on sale compared to the $75 that they originally were. Theyre nuke proof. I went from hazards to these and I could honestly feel the difference. I've had em for a year and they've stayed perfectly straight the whole time. No flat spots, wobble, creaking, or problems. The paint quality is really nice. My front rim looks brand new. But on back it rawed out really fast with brakes.
