They do suck! you need to sell the tuffs you have and go for a proper alloy hubbed set. There are plenty about in black if thatds the colour you have :daumenhoch:

AAAAAH! the holy grail of mags.....a pair of white alloy hub tuffs that are actually white....and with no stress cracks round the hub!! I literally bought a set last week, they are not white...a bit creamy but have NO cracks. My last set were quite beige and had the usual stress cracks. You will pay double what a black set cost! It all depends on how anal you are about era correctness or just correctness. :daumenhoch:

I have nearly started crying!
I never had a bmx as a child as too much money, the skyway ta owner was a guy from the bottom of my road who could wheelie for over a mile!
I promised myself I would build one, taking ages to get the parts let alone the wheels!
How much did you pay, if you don't mind me asking?

I paid £220 which was quite strong....but try finding a nice pair! I don't like them when they get bleached and aqua blasted....leaves the surface nasty and rough, I would rather have them untouched and a bit off white! :daumenhoch:
