OPINIONS WANTED: The age old question...
...spokes or mags? My head and my heart are
telling me two different things.
I cleaned these up and repacked the bearings, and they
spin like, well, you know 
Let me know what you guys think. Any and all responses
are appreciated

Normally I 'll always say spokes but in this case I have to go with the Tuffs, they need to be on there. Nice bike!

Re: OPINIONS WANTED: The age old question...
Thanks! I like the white and all, but the spokes are
more correct, IMO. Hmmm...

I think the mags look better on it. But the spokes will perform better.

Re: OPINIONS WANTED: The age old question...
Here it is with both mags.
I don't have a pic with both Pro Class because I was
too lazy after cleaning and repacking the front.

if you are looking to handling that resembles the M1 Abrams tank, then Mags 4 sure - otherwise, Pro Class all the way

Re: OPINIONS WANTED: The age old question...
I've noticed the front feels more solid with the Pro Class.
Ive always wanted Pro Class rims, and was going to make
my T/A a straight racer- you know, take off the front brake,
pegs, etc. and run spokes. Too bad I like the mags too much!
They are squishy and heavy though.

Re: OPINIONS WANTED: The age old question...
I love the white mags but I'm thinking black tires instead of blue. Hang on to the PC though they would look great displayed with the bike at shows.
Looking for some reasonably priced Revcore parts for a Hutchins build.
Always looking for nice SKYWAY parts & gear.

Re: OPINIONS WANTED: The age old question...
I think once the mags go, the seat and bars look lost.

Re: OPINIONS WANTED: The age old question...
spokes give superior performance but those mags look great I would leave the mags then switch to spokes for races if you want to actually race it.

I usually prefer spokes on T/As, but those mags are perfect on it.
