they're all the same bro. They all break in time. I rather pay $300 for a set than $1500 any day. With $1500-$2000, I can get a brand new set every year for 5 years but that's just me. Some people likes to pay more for a stamped rims just to show that they stuntin'.

well the high priced brands like dayton and zenith have stainless steel spokes, nipples, and I believe the hub is too. The cheaper rims are just chrome steel from china and begin to rust after 6-8 months so you have to take care of them.

Re: rims question from a rookie

I have had my rims on for over two years and they havent rusted yet. Only problem is some chrome peeling on the cap and one little piece on a spoke. You get the expensive one's just for the dayton stamp. If your rollin in the streets on a regular basis just get the cheap ones.

you must be taking care of them. Its not humid over your way is it !

I left a set of chinas in the garage and they formed rust spots with no use on them.

gets really humid here sc and also gets hotter than 2 mice Fu&*ing in a wool sock. Rims will rust after time just from the climate.
