araya 7x rims
weedbix:
I'd pay the extra 20 for a haz lite
Dr. Steve Brule:
I had Super 7X on Suzue hubs and Comp IIIs, still probably my favourite wheelset. Dunno about riding street on em but for trails they were great. I must have had the good chrome ones because they never peeled, just gradually faded.
JFax:
All of my and my friends' haz lites had huge issues with the chrome. started peeling within a year and then basically became useless.
Could have been an issue with the weather and road salt perhaps, as we rode everywhere and anytime back in the day. I would stay far away from them.
The Outsider:
I ridden chrome Hazard Lites and chrome 7KAs with a brake for considerable amount of time. No issues with peeling whatsoever. Not to be too much of a fan boy, but the modern day hard anodized black rims have held up and lock up great with brake use for over a year so far. Except the dings from me, finish looks great. Feel like I'm done with chrome rims unless I want em solely for looks one day.
Just something to consider, BMX technology has improved considerably in two decades :)

100% of the rims I've destroyed were 7xs. I look at them as having nostalgic value and nothing more.
