got one pair of sumo's. they are exact replicas of 7x,s. Any straight, useable, genuine OS rim is worth saving in my opinion.

i've got 2 sets of sumo rims laced to some no name hubs and i tell you, unless you read the engraving you cannot tell the difference between them and arayas. the only difference i can see is your bank account lasts longer buying them over arayas  :2funny:
