Just wanted to inject a sad possibility here. Keep in mind if you were to hit an object at high speed, say a rock or a piece of lumber, or even a pothole, and the rim bent, it has to bend less than 2mm or your looking at harps or heat. Not to be the bearer of bad news, but I've seen those wheels bent more than 2mm, I'd just hate to have anyone injured or killed in the name of looking cool. Might I suggest stepping up to the next size wheel? That should introduce enough safety for this problem at least. It does make me drool though.
