They aint much better Darren, mine has got a bit of a "kink" where its welded. Bring back Araya's and Ukai's they didnt have this shoddy finish if i remember correctly.....and the chrome was much better aswell!
Sean. :daumenhoch:
-
my Proper rim seems fine.....though it is a black one so maybe the finish is better than chrome? :-\

My Proper rim is green Rob, my chrome rims are Sun City Lights! :daumenhoch: But the chrome on them is crap compared to OS chrome plating. It seems to be really thin plating on NS stuff ???

rhys if you want a good rim try the gsport rims there spot on, never had a problem with mine and they are seriously strong.
and i think our mate bev can get em lol

ive noticed the same about my hazzard lites and the chrome is shocking mine are only 2 years old and the chrome is bubbling everywhere yet my superpros which are 14 years old are near perfect :daumenhoch:
-
me last one is about 2 years old and thats started to bubble
the new one chrome was flaking off the inside whilst i was building it up
-
thats bad :tickedoff: ive started to build up a set primo 7005 rims hopefully they will be better then the hazzards
-
primo are much worse then hazards
-
changed my demolition zero smoke chromes after 2 months due to bubbling.got black crohme now :daumenhoch:
-
what makes it worst, is they aint fooking cheap! :tickedoff:
-
all the spokes pull thru the cromes rubbish on them and every one ive had has bent badly
-

my friends primo rims are still straight and the chrome is in good condition and he bought them at the same time as i bought my hazzard lites hence why ive now bought a set, bring back super pros i never had any probs with them apart from the crap axles :tickedoff:
-
been running hoffman generater rims in chrome for over 6 years now. chrome still perfect, still straight as a die. (had these on a complete sd4 which i laced up to super pro front and hazard casette rear.) not too heavy either.
-
Finally, someone with a good report of a modern chrome rim :daumenhoch:
Nothing stands up against SuperPro (Ukai) rims to me, I ran mine for 10 years almost and there was never a hint of trouble from the chrome on them. The rear got worn away by my constant braking, but the rims integretty held up just fine.
I have Primo Hula Hoops in chrome now and they're starting to bubble up now after 3 years.... no other complaints though.
Are those Generator rims still available in chrome?
