But however...I question why you are using Velocity DeepV's for a set of road wheels?

Are you going just for faddish looks...or performance...? Velocity DeepV's are extraordinarily heavy rims...and offer absolutely no performance benefit over Mavic CXP-33's for example. If you are going for performance - welp your resulting wheels will be tank wheels.

It's for my 4 season commuter carrying ~200 lbs and panniers plus I just like them. I also cross nasty railroad tracks 2x daily.

Thanks for the help all !
