Perfection can be a costly thing.Surely you could have your PW centers welded onto tubeless rims for a lot less.At $200 ea. it would be $800 just for rims + tubes + tires =
somewhere in the neighborhood of $2000+.
Seems for that kind of money you could just about have a set of 4:89s,disc. brake conversion kit,and a set of tires too.
There has to be cheaper places to have tubeless rims made but if you've got the cash to burn,go for it.Personally I have to budget my money for any PW upgrade and would upgrade the more essential drivetrain areas first with rims being towards the bottom of the priority list.You may have everything else done and in that case your rims would be up on your prority list but I would rather see you find a better deal if possible.$200 ea. just seems excessively high.
