Help Please

Im Looking For Some Cheap Good Rims Just Trying To Rebuild My First Bmx Bike But I Dont Want To Go Through The Trouble Of Puting The Sprocket And Everything Together Can Any1 Help?  

rims or wheels?, odyssey makes good wheelsetts. and odyssey hazard lights are good rims as are primo hula hoops or any sun rim. seya  

i want rim spokes basicly ready to put on my bike and ride  

well inless you know how to lace and true a wheel i wouldnt do that yourself. but yeah the rims i mentioned are all very good strong rims, your gonna need 14g spokes and nipples  

he doesnt want to lace em so that would mean that you should go with completes.you should tell us dropout size so it would be easier to see what would fit.is it 3/8 or 14mm  

i hate doing mechanic work...  

its 3/8's drop out  

im not to good with 3/8th wheelsetts...ive only run 3/8ths in the front. dont get a dk wheelsett though the bearings dont sit right after a couple months use and will blow up shortly after. if your tight on money maybe just a alloy sealed 36 wheelset from danscomp there real cheap.

what are the pros and cons of sealed vs unsealed rims ?  

unsealed= cheaper and will work if you dont want to spend too much money
sealed= less maintenece, more expensive, longer lasting  

i got sealed, it's the better way to go i think  

If you really want to know a lot about tires, wheels, rims, spokes, all that shit, (only do this if you can't find any first hand advice) try and get a copy of the book "The Bicycle Wheel" written by a dude Jobst Brandt, and after you understand this book, buy a spoke wrench and put the words to action  

If you ride a lot, and hit a lot of jumps, i wouldn't recomend unsealed  

id suggest sealed wheels if you have the money, sealed wheels will spin longer and smoother than unsealed. unsealed wheels also take a lot more maintanence, you need to clean the bearings everyonce and a while and also repack them with lo-friction grease. sealed bearings have the advantage cause there are dust seals(hence sealed bearing) keepig the outside elements out theyll still need to be repacked eventually but its also a lot easier. oh yeah unsealed wheels the bearings also tend to blow up a lot faster than sealed wheels.
