Interested.

Widths?

Would suggest bronze for street knock-offs, to avoid removal issues with alloy, after some use and non-removal.

Alloy tends to bond with alloy when very tight, particularly on a street wheel that is seldom removed and subject to water and road salts. And, the alloy tangs can be bent or broken without a special tool for removal.javascript:smilie('')

A bronze spinner has its mass near the center of rotation, so the intertial drag is zip, but of course, it will weigh a bit more and cost more.

The golden bronze patina looks cool to some, but the alloy can be color treated at will.
