Acorn Mag Wheels
Picklez:
As the guys say, more to do with construction/spoke thickness.
Had both, BITD and recently. Acorns would be fine for cruising around but would be far higher risk of breaking with hard riding. Bust a pair BITD on a hard landing.
So depending what you want them for, and more importantly what YOU will be happy with take your choice my friend :daumenhoch:

Acorn Mags were good quality. Some of them were stamped Mongoose.
Always liked the Hub design on then.
