GranSport rim set for £1,149+VAT

Made from cast aluminium according to Claudio ar Eurospares, stronger than the originals, that is what swayed it for me, now what to do with the seven spokes as in my avatar?

They are not made out of putty like the original GS rims but the downside is they are slightly heavier than the 18" 7 spokes I took off but the ride feels more compliant with the 19" wheels on!

Hello miket. Still happy with rims?

Hello miket. Still happy with rims?

Yes they are very good thanks.

Thanks Miket. Good to know about the alternative solution being reliable.

You said they were slightly heavier. Any info from ES on exact comparison?

About 2.5kg difference between the old 7 spokes 18” rims at each corner, considering they are larger overall than the 18” not such a bad compromise.
I actually made a note of the difference but I’m not at home atmo!

Yes, indeed weight diff betw 19s and 18s around 2 kgs is normal. Thanks for feedback.
