They're just minilite ripoffs

Just like Panasports are.

I called them up the first monday after I got my catelog this year (because on the weekdays they know what they're talking about) and they told me they were Minilite wheels made by an OEM quality manufacturer.

Yeah they're 600.

You could always pick up real Panasports for around that much new or used.

I'm not sure if they're going to be running a production of Panasports, soon though. So whatever you want.

That and the rewinds are complete crap.

I forget who, but another forum member had them and they bent out of shape on one high speed run.
