Mags, not magazines

[mulisha_mike]

Any body else out there run Mags instead of the regular spoked rims. I posted a pic of my bike on here and got called "retro", and i was just wonderin if any one else might run them.
And if you dont give your opion on them

post up some pics if you do, heres my "retro" bike

[Mossy]

lol i dont run mags but that is deff old school haha sweet as

[twisties]

are they as strong as regular wheels???

[redbull_fmx]

i used ot runt hem on my old bike i think there pretty strong

[ALLEN]

i dunno if its treu but if they bend up or warp dont u just put then in the freezer and there right again

[Mossy]

yea you can just heat them up bend them back to shape and put em in the freeezer then the next or a few days later there good as new :) there fairly tough but my friend runs them and has snapped his twice he just keeps re bolting em haha

[eightball]

they are called 'tuffs'.

they are also weak as piss, i would not recommend jumping them at all, they break easy as unless you buy the top of the line skyway ones...

[mulisha_mike]

actually eightball the newer skyways suck, one of my frinends bought them, they flex really bad. they old skyways are reall nice but the new ones seem like their made of rubber, the flex that bad.
the ones i run are the newer version of the acs stealth's, you know the ones that used to come on teh GTs. They are really thick and strong. these things have taken a beating and are still straight with out reheating them up and bending them back. if you buy cheap ones they are really weak, exspecially aluminum ones that are riveted together.

[eightball]

yeah by 'top of the line' i ment the original and the best. old school. ;)

[bakflip_kimble]

i hate em personally... i think they are a health hazard i had them once and did my mate jump in his yard and them just smashed into like 30 peices and i ended up with 5 stitches

[kimble]

hahahahah those are wak as...

[Mossy]

was that the rims fault or did you case it real bad? haha

[mulisha_mike]

well eightball the origonal ones were great, my friend that bought the new ones got some of the origonals. but i love my mags, they are strong, i havn't had a problem with them yet.

[mulisha_mike]

well i have had a problem now. they lasted for about a year, but the other day they were taking real bad beating. i was practing 360s, since i havent done one for about 6 months (damn snow and minnesota weather), and i was makin a little more then 3/4s of the way around and smachin the rear wheel sideways into the ground and eventually i completly broke one of the 3 huge spokes off of where it connects to the hub

i will try and get pics if my crappy camera will coperate

[fmx_kid89]

oh damn there gone!!!u goin to get another one or just a normal rim???

[mulisha_mike]

i just put my set of normal rims back on they are strong enough, specially since i barley ride my bike any more and wont at all barley in a few weeks (getting my license)

[twisties]

aaw, your poor bike is being put out of service.
R.I.P. mikes bike, rest in peace. .

[mulisha_mike]

i will still ride it every once in a while, since i dont have many friends that have motos, but most of them ride bmx.
i actually have a road trip planned with a few friends around the midwest of the U.S. to go to some sick ass skate parks

[dilligaf]

do u get fined for riding skate only skate parks in the us or do u just get warnings
