Yeah, those Fikses are nice! I am looking at the BBS to stay 16" diam... my big concern is the mag centers. Magnesium tho' light also has weaker properties than aluminum and lower stress allowables in general, tho' I suspect those centers are an alloyed mag for sure and I dunno the props or how they cycle (fatigue).
The old cast mag stuff in the 70s of course cracked like crazy, but I suspect the new alloys and forming methods increase durability, but I fear that BBS may be assuming all racers using these will accept sacrificing longevity for weight.
They look bitchin' so that should be enough to sell me a set, right?
