*UPDATE* After only a few months these rims have begun to rust without ever being rained on or wet. I am near the bay though but the air here isn't that salty compared to SF.
These are 2.5 inches wide in case you didn't know. I didn't. My old ones were 2.25 and so I had bought tires for 2.25. They mounted fine though so hopefully it's okay.
There were some burrs on the inside of the rim so be sure to sand those down before putting in your tubes or you'll be sorry.
The sealed bearings do NOT feel as smooth as they should be. Hopefully this will not be an issue......
Also, both the front and rear wheels are pretty damn true which is nice

Maybe the hub exploded because the bearing(s) needed grease.
I finally realized Jordan meant m12 NUT, not bolt.

get urself an m12x1 bolt and use that for the spacer on the none brake side not the supplied spacer then use the bolt with the lip between the brake and bearing and use the other 2 bolts to tighten her down
