Velox came out with a new rim that is 17" but 12.5 lbs!!!!

then they give a load limit of 620kg per wheel.

can someone convert that for me?
It is constructed of 6061 aluminum (which is a strong aluminum) and they say its made through hot die forging... which they say is good (but who knows)

it looks like the 5zigen becketts, but hopefully cheaper...

I feel like they will just bend easy based on that weight.

I believe its 2.2 lbs in one KG. So that would equal 1364 lbs
