I love these! Been after black Z's for ages.

Are these mags available in the UK or did you buy them from the US?

you caling me cheap man ! the shame ....  ;D i think seeing your skyway rims gave me the push to do it instead of just thinking about it  :daumenhoch:

Looks like you put some effort in there with the rasps and wet or dry  :coolsmiley:
Title: Re: acs z'eds
Post by: oldschoolrb on September 22, 2013, 06:22 PM
ran out of wet n dry !! and couldnt wait build em  ::) i angled the drill holes as best as i could and did a little counter sink for the nipple head to sit better on the inside of the rim . pretty much used basic tools to do it  :daumenhoch:

I countersunk mine but later realised that z rims aren't. Not sure it would make a great deal of difference to the strength.
How did they true? mine were really easy and a real buzz when i finally spin them and were straight as a die  :daumenhoch:

iv not fully trued em up yet but as they stand they are good . had to use long nipples with em as the wall is pretty thick on the rim
