Why do all the Alphaequipt wheels have a cast hole in addition to a valve hole? Is that just aesthetics?

All ALPHAequipt wheels feature dual valve stems. So you can either cut your air up or air down time in half. Or you can use one to measure pressure while you inflate or deflate with the other valve stem. The valve stems on the spokes feature a circle around them to protect them from debris that could damage or break them on the trail.

The dual valve stem and protected valve stem seem like neat ideas....but what I still don't understand is why one is protected and the other is not....doesn't that kind of take us "back to square one"?

New Ford (6x135) exclusive. Black Rhino Barstow in Dearborn Blue. For any of you concerned with weight they are kinda heavy. On par with OEM wheels. But if you want a unique finish without paying for it, it's a solid option. They will be arriving next week.

*wheel pictured is 20", 17" will have shorter spokes.
