We have been gradually building a list of wheels that we know to be compatible and not compatible. If a wheel has a steel pin in it, it's not compatible. If it has less than 20 spokes or has unevenly spaced spoke patterns, it is usually not compatible. If you have a wheel that's not on this list, let us know if it has a steel pin or not and we'll add it to the list.
You should use our interactive wheel-checking tool online to help guide you through the checking process.
COMPATIBLE WHEELS (we STRONGLY RECOMMEND still confirming your specific wheel doesn't have steel in it, see the magnetic wheels article for details AND refer to the wheel weight compatibility article.

There are many more, but these are the ones we have seen in person or heard about directly from users.
In general, look for the rim to be "welded" in its spec sheet. This indicates that the manufacturer joined the aluminum wheel structure together by welding rather than using a steel pin.
For more details on wheel compatibility and how to check if your wheel is compatible, see the magnetic wheels article.
