they do hold up well and are a good alternative in this ever growing hobby /passion
in the next few years i think parts that have been upto now classed as second best
will get there day in the spot light as at least you can ride them without the worry of busting
big bucks by damaging them.

Sumo rims are great.....They were original eqipment on the Diamond Back Reactors in the 90's. I have had lots of Sumo rims in the past, I even had a NOS black set that I got chromed then laced them up to GT Superlace sealed hubs.
For me the top 3 brands of 7X rims would be Araya, Ukai and Sumo's.
