I have two I bought in a set of wheels, spokes, and nipples, have not used them yet. They look OK, but what do I know ?? LOL.

   I've done several sets, got 'em thru 4into1, the first 2 or 3 pair were not bad, a very cost effective option to the real deal (Buchanan's) the last pair were less so. The weld quality at the joint was awful. Not happy with 4into1's response, about done with them. So, yeah they'll do.
Start with the end in mind...

Buchanan's carry actual Sun rims which they drill to fit the bike of the buyer who's purchasing them. I have purchased some of them for customers 25 yrs. ago and Those brand are very good.
I don't know anything about 'Rising Sun' rims,but if they're actually China brand then the Japanese must be pissed-off they're using that name  ::)

Are the Japanese also mad at the band "Frigid Pink" who recorded "the House of the Rising Sun" or the Animals who released a recording of it later ?? LOL.

Yes....but not as mad as for the A bomb.

I'm not totally useless, I can still serve as a bad example
