Looking thru Mini Delta's website I found these
10x6 magnesium Watanabes
Soooo hot. I think I converted them to be $1500 . I hope that's for 4 . :o

Cool
I think they are a variant of the ones that are top middle on that page of yours.
2.3kg is pretty awesome. 8)
I wonder if the rs ones are lighter??

Meh they aren't far enough different from a mini lite to justify the cost.. I'd buy force racing splits with that money

Is anyone running the Force racing rims in Oz?

Just wondering if they leak much, and if maintaining them is a pain.

It's either that or the black 10x6 Minilites for me - If the Watanabes were half the price they'd be the go though...

Meeni makes a good point. For that price some of carls split mambas would do me!

Whilst there is maintenance on a split rim, its not much more than a normal single piece wheel. Just need to polish the outers every now and then. The way they look after cleaning is worth the extra effort. Then you become addicted to the shine and tend to clean them a bit more religiously

I dont see why leakage would be an issue, plenty of UK guys run them ok. If they do leak its easy to fix them. You could get all 4 pulled apart and resealed for about $100 IF they needed it
