Title: Pro class rims?
Post by: oldschoolace on March 14, 2014, 02:03 PM: Anyone know the difference in price between pro class rims and stock arayas?
We have all seen the home brew attempts but was in a machine shop today and out the corner of my eye I saw a lad doing a set on a nice bit of accurate machinery.

Would it be worth someone's while to go to this trouble and try and pads them off as original pro class? ???

There was one than one set of rims leaning against the machine ???
