Exel Speed?

Yes or No?

Here's an alternative from Centerline that looks indentical, is forged, and only weighs ~15 pounds.

Just more food for thought. I think they both look good.

The Centerline is sharp (polished!) and only slightly higher cost, but doesn't have the appearance of depth that the Speed does. The Exel also looks larger because it's spokes are longer. But - only 15 lbs ? That's hella light!
Thanks for the link, Lincoln.

I need to act soon. One of my RSAs (on S-Lites) is bald & the other three are out-of-round. Does no one else have an opinion on the Exel Speed?

This particular wheel is a bite off the PIAA model.

I'm gonna interpret that as a "Yes" vote. One more (imaginary or otherwise) & I'm gonna order 'em.
Definitely.
Probably.
I just might..
