What's with the recent OMF ad?
 

Who are they cutting on in their Sept. Dirt Wheels advertisment on page 149? The say "Scalloped Reinforcing Rings - Don't settle for a copy of a 20 year old design which it made in a foreign county, installed by people who can't weld and think clear silicone is part of the welding process.

Are they talking about ITP T-9 Baja's? All the other types of wheels I've seen using reinforcing rings are welded. I just bought a pair of T-9's (2nd pair actually, the first set had one wheel come with two valve stem holes and the other had a slight wobble). My new Baja's have clear silicone applied to the welds. Anyone know for sure?
