If you buy spoked wheels that aren't built and custom, do not expect them to be trued. I see negative reviews and what it appears to be is people buy these $100 wheels thinking they're going to get a trued wheel. You should expect to take them to a bike shop and get them trued. Now, let's talk about the quality of the wheels. They're steel wheels which have a weld spot because they're steel and it isn't cast aluminum. There is going to be a minor wobble. On disc brake wheels it isn't as bad as the hub still spins straight, I would not buy the rim brake version though. The hardware isn't bad at all. As a matter of fact, one cool part about the wheels is on the axles, one side has the hardware essentially stuck on. This means you only have to worry about the other side when tightening down your cone nuts etc. I've worked with wheels where you have to measure and center the axle and keep re-taking measurements. Having axles where the hardware is stuck on is actually pretty smart. I suggest getting a good NLGL #3 grease which is thicker than #2. The ball bearings are 1/4. Also, the O.L.D dimension (fork and dropout) dimensions are 100mm on the front wheel and 120mm on the rear wheel. You may need to use additional 7.5mm jam nuts to space it out to 135mm if needed. For the price, you really can't complain. The guy who trued them said he's seen better weld spots, but it definitely isn't the worse Review: Unusable. - The front wheel was unusable. The rear wheel wasn't much better. Not sure if the cause was the packaging which seemed to offer no protection for the wheels. Or the manufacturing. ## Features - DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: The BBR Tuning silver freewheel disc brake ready heavy duty wheels are built with robust 12-gauge steel, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to wear and tear.
