Not everyone likes shoes that look like marshmallows and are as thick as your mums platforms from the 70s, lotek are finally catering for those people.

Animal Rim.
"Since I spilt the beans on the new Animal rims here are some shots of the first samples that we got and have been testing for a couple months. The basic idea of these rims was to design a rim that takes into consideration that most of the team doesn't run brakes and to use that as a opportunity to create a new shape (if you run brakes, don't worry, brakes will still work on them, pad placement just has to be a little more precise). The lower section of the sidewall is angled and drilled (the holes on the final rims will be cleaner looking) and it features spoke cross-lacing. You can expect them to be available in a bunch of colors and weigh in around 17oz ."

I think it'll be a similar idea to the fly rims when they first came out; the wider cross lacing meant that you didn't have to keep the spokes ultra tight for the wheel to run well. (Well i assume htis is what animal is doing unless its just the next big scene thing)
There was an article on bmx-forum i think, cant remember it entirely. Something along the lines of Sergio Laios (sp) running the fly's semi-tightened and saying that they still felt like a tightly laced normal rim.
Less maintenance and more performance
