    These might be something you are interested in.

    I was thinking of getting a pair myself.
    The price is pretty decent. i have never seen them in person though, but i would assume they are pretty nice.
    let me know how you make out. I have been looking for a pair of these for a while too and I'm thinking about buying some too.

    what i am talking about are the very round spoke rims like on all the old gassers . i could not find a photo of them on team 3 web site. i hope some one knows if them are going to tool up and make the old style in aluminum.

    I wished they'd get their ass' in gear on them I know a few guys looking. I'd buy a couple pairs myself.A guy wouldn't feel to bad about running repops on the street.

  12. Still nothing but rumors and innuendos. I would love to be proven wrong, believe me. I know of no "spot on" skinny Americans being sold yet. Nice seeing you at E Town Louie.

    I don't wanna see 15 X 4 American 5-spokes that look proper in aluminum! My real Magnesium 5-spoke Americans are one of my most prized possessions and I don't want to see them reproduced in aluminum and be everywhere.
