Personally don't really like the idea of 20" wheels with tiny little strips of rubber.

For two reasons:
- I don't like the look of it
- I keep thinking about what will happen if you ever have to go away from an area where there is a major highway.

the danger of cracking a rim is a very valid point, i do a fair bit of travel atleast once a year from canb-melb once,canb to gold coast area, and numerous trips to country towns bath/cowra parkes etc

for this reason getting my old 19's repaired and powder coated and getting some good long distance rubber put on em for the trips when ill be on back roads an stuff
