Fikse profil 13 or ARO ? - Lateral-g Forums

I noticed there is a new wheel ( at least new for me.. ) ARO in Fikses classic line

http://www.fikse.com/classic.html

Aro is really close of my all time favorite Profil 13 .

What is the biggest difference between these two ?? Is there a big price difference ?

The Aro has a steped lip outer rim shell, the profile 13 has a "Fat Lip" outer rim shell. So 2 18" wheels side by side, the Fat Lip wheel will have a bigger center.

Frank thanks for the reply and help. I though myself the difference in is in the outer rim lip but in my eye there seems to standard "lip" on the profil wheels too??? At least based on this photo:

The wheel used in the DSE photo is from CC wheel:

( According to someone I know anyway )

A closer look at the rear wheel tells me that this is a fisk not the CC wheel.
I guess I was wrong.
