Just wondering if there have been any durability issues from track abuse...

Thanks, as I know quite a few guys run them on their Carerra's I was hoping they would chime in.. sounds like they did have some issues and may have changed them over the years.

i heard from a credible source that they are reliable for the most part but have to be treated with car. They're not meant for curb hopping at all.

Gary R.

I never touch the curbs.

FredC

i knew you were going to come out with something like this. But seriously what i was told is that the Keizer wheels that you have in mind were adapted from an oval dirt track (smooth, load released through sliding...) purpose wheel. FWIW, which may not be much.

Gary R.

I appreciate it Fred, just messing with you. I KNOW someone on RL is running them on an SC/Carerra, maybe they don't know (Jim) Buckley's wheels are actually Keizer's?

Good question. I was thinking about buying a set but only have opinion from Jim Buckley. Other's experiences would be helpful, pre-purchase.

Yeah Gary, I think you would have better luck calling them "Buckley Wheels"... In fact, you can't even buy the wheels straight from Keizer. Buckley is the sole distributer of those particular 15" wheels.

Never had any issues from use on the track,13" wheels, but you need to be careful when mounting them. Have bent several fairly easily beyond repair.

Gary R.

You bent them MOUNTING them??

2BWise

Yes, in trying to get the tire seated over the lip of the rim we had bent a few. This was a shop that had bent them, but after switching to Jongbloeds we had no further issues. The Keizer wheels halves, at least at the 13" size, were much thinner than the Jongbloeds.

Gary R.

I ended up with Jongbloeds but Jim Buckley (Keizer rep) is a great guy and even after I went with a competitor he had nothing but good stuff to say. Says a LOT for him and to me it's just a matter of personal preference on style at this point and would highly recommend Jim's wheels for anyone in the same position!
