John planet x Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Ronnies are sweet, had mine nearly a year i think, and its still tru and tight.I recently got a king on a koxx rimm but koxx rimms are total cheese, so i ordered another ronnie because there so good. You could do what he says and spray it No eyelets or nout on the new echo rimms. I'd go for ronnie over any other rimm any day. Get a colour for the front and you can be just as pimp.

Control-Trials Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hi mate, if you can manage to find some where thats still selling them go for the 05 echo square punched rims. Because they are super strong, not too wide and not to thin, and hold a grind very well.Cheers !!!Dan !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I say get another ronnie as they are best and you may have to grind your pads down to fit.Clarky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr ailsbury Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 (edited) Hi mate, if you can manage to find some where thats still selling them go for the 05 echo square punched rims. Because they are super strong, not too wide and not to thin, and hold a grind very well.Cheers !!!Dan !!!they can't hold a grind for s**t but are strong if your a light rider, my mate put a big bitch of a bend in his from landing heavy when he hadn't had his long, very good rims thought if you treat them right... The new echo rims with drills in are rather lush aswell but a bit wide.... I've been running my rear echo rim for 6 / 7 monthes and shavn't been able to dent it, they don't buckle v. easilly either, been running my front echo rim since about feb and only buckled it oncego with an echo or stay with an onzaToM EDIT: I used to have a ronnie rim before my echo and it dented and snapped really easily! but held a grind for aaaaaages Edited December 16, 2005 by mr ailsbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
