Aluminum Rims
I have been looking for aluminum rims for my Hawk. I found these on Amazon. Here’s the link:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073WSWK4B..._M2u7zbSQ7PX7X What do you think about them? Will they work on the Hawk? They have 36 spoke holes and they are 8mm holes. Thanks, Dan-O

Nice looking rims. My only concern would be the 8mm holes. The rear spokes are 8ga. and nipples should be 7.5mm - 8mm. Not sure of the gauge of the front spokes as they are smaller in diameter. I can take a measurement when I get home after work late this evening to confirm. Worst that can happen is you will have to change out the front to a larger gauge spoke which could be a good thing.

I took measurement when I got home. Front and rear spoke holes are about 7mm. 8mm holes may be too big.
