Only have (3) good ones , left rear cracked and I lost confidence in them so that is why I replaced them. I'm going to try and sell on e-bay after having them checked for any cracks.

I liked the thin spoke also..........but didn't trust them anymore after (1) cracked and had a flat..........but I do like the new look after 7 1/2 years running the thin spoke. Your taste is intact
