I rock two Primo Balance wheels. They stay true, and I weigh 190lbs.

Only pro I have had with primo is their mix cassette 8t. But I think thats because I damaged it from grinds with no guards.

well thats how you ride on them, how much psi were you run in your tires too? i have had 2 sun ryno lite xl rims for 3 years now, have ridin them very hard(180 to flat off a 5 1/2 foot high loading dock) and they havent even come untrue yet, very very light strong rims, plus ull save money too. but check out the alien nation rims, basicly the same as the ody hazard lites but liter and around the same pric

I've been riding the Rhyno Lite XL's for over a year now and they have been great but last week I switched up the back rim because I wanted it chrome for better braking.

my ryhno lites we're trued really crappy so thats why they sucked...cause i run 110 psi, well between 70 and 110 depending on what im doing...and i rode my rims pretty damn hard as well when i had the ryhno lites i was learning 360s so the back one took a beating...but as i said before if u have em built up nicely they can last a long time

wheels are the most important part of the bike for me. i got a primo balance 7005 laced to a geisha lite its probably about 2 pounds lighter than by old hazard wheel and its proably 10x stronger i warped the crap out of my hazard try whips... for the front i got a primo balance 6005 laced to a bulemia super sick wheel as well.

GET THE PRIMO RIMS THERE JUST PLAIN AWSOME, or a g sport if u can afford it

I've got a Demoltition Bulimia hub laced to an Animal LM-R rim, which has held up very well. On the back I am running an Odyssey Hazard Hub laced to a Hazard Lite rim. Despite the hype surounding the Hazard Lite rim, I am actually disapointed in the way it performed. It was not quite as strong as I thought it would be, but it has done alright. Keep in mind, though, I was not the smoothest rider when I first purchased it.

If I were to buy a new back rim, what would you recommend? Weight is not a factor, I am looking for the burliest, strongest rim possible.
