I do remember those Ukai rims, and a grand experiment they were. I also have stupid-clear memories of the day I showed my buddy with a pair of these my neat new way of cleaning glue off rims: Just like cleaning base wax of cross-country skis, heat it a bit with a flame, and wipe that section clean with a rag. The very first foam-filled rim expressed its distaste for this procedure by going ka-blooey, leaving me the embarrassed holder of a pretzled wheel - and a sadly diminished reputation in that circle.

But here's the catch: the shipping isn't and by the time I make a box and send them it's about $25. So that's the deal. Of course, if you're local and can pick them up, bingo.
