yup, E-bay.
lots of hoops on the cheap.
check the online stores for rims that are
close outs etc. I've seen old campy rims
and old mavic rims really cheap.

buy cheap you get cheap. rims are worth spending a bit extra on. alex adventurer rims seems to be pretty nice and they are cheap on nashbar. i would check them out.

I was just looking at them over at Alfred E. Bike.com... I was wondering if they were any good... I'd really like some black rims... I don;t wanna spend more than $30-40 on hoops... this is for my beater fixie project... so I don't need it costing more than my Regualr Roadie

thanks

I have the alex adventurer rims on my single speed cross check. They
seem like good beefy rims. Quite wide, so you wouldn't want to run skinny
tires on them (I've tried and they pinch flat too easy). I got the rims from
AE Bike, too. Service was good.
