hi, just wondering if anyone on here has got some venture rims off ride central, they come in blue (among other colours) and im thinking about replacing my orange s-types with them. I want to know what they look like as the pic on theyre website is bull. So if youve got them or you could photoshop some blue onto my rims on my bike so i could see what they would look like that would be great.Big Grin

EDIT: just wanting to know what they look like as the picture on the website is really bad

5.1s are a really light race wheel. 721's as well. 729's are stronger of the three and would be more suitable on your stinky

6.1's dent/flat spot really easily. I wouldn't run them.

i recommend the 729s, because i have heard they are the strongest fr/dh rim. unfortunately i have never tried them, so im just recommending them from what ive heard.
