FG and put some offset in them, just like on the FG Leopard Race Rims.
And make the off-set, so that there is room for Hydro brakes.

if you fit alloy rims you will brake stuff when you crash, no flex at all transfers shock/stress to your axles/arms etc so be carefull!
look sweet tho.

Tried that, been there.
The parts will hold up but the rims will damage quite soon, or you need to make them with big wall thicknes.
No matter thin or thick wall they will be very heavy.
Better machine them from some decent nylon resin and you will enjoy them much longer.
Also glueing rubber to the alloy... you need a beadlock system for alloy rims.
