Re: Metric wheels alfa-digest V9 #169

As far as I know the only metric wheels built were for the Michelin TRX 
tire. This was a bone head idea to take advantage of a radical new tire 
technology. If these are the wheels you are thinking of (the TRX tire being 
virtually unobtainable now) then the profile of the rim needs to be changed 
as well. Standard wheels not only have standard diameters to fit standard 
manufactured tires, they also have a particular lip profile to match said 
tires (that's the letter designation in the rim nomenclature, "J" being the 
current version).

If there are other metric wheels out there I'd like to know.

Cheers

Michael
