no leak on jong bloed. only my fikses leak.
also i hit berms a lot, that's how i know i nailed the apex. i bent fikses, but not jongbloed nor CCW.
but i no longer like 3pcs wheels. over them they will all leak. furthermore, if you hit something and bent only the wheel halves, you didn't hit it hard enough, you dont have to fix them really. if you hit something hard enough, you WILL bent the wheel center. at that point you replacement cost of a 3pcs wheel is same as buying a one piece forged wheel (CCW, volks etc). so personally, unless you cannot find correct offset in one piece forged wheels, i see no benefit in using 3 pcs wheels. but that' s just me.

C10 is lighter, has 10 spokes
C14 is 14 spokes
C10 has been shotpeened to match the strength of C14.
C14 do not have shot peen.
C10 may be built with center cap
C14 usually has no center cap. if you must have one, the can do it, but you will gain another lbs per wheel when the build up the center section to hold the cap

you should sell a set of your ccws to me -- you clearly have too many sets...

Yikes! Aren't the Toyo R-series tires supposed to be some of the most longest lasting R-compounds out there?
