Rims are a wear item. The current market view of the wheel as somehow a magical component that won't be subject to age, fatigue or wear (because modern wheels are so costly) is so miss led. The wear on the brake track of these rims is pretty significant. At some point the bead portion of the rim will bow out enough to crack/peal off the rest of the rim. You won't likely to be able to tell just before that's it about to happen... Andy
