Any ideas where I can find deep profile (like mavic cxp33, velocity deep-v) rims with polished surface? I am not sure if anyone makes them anymore.
thanks.

araya sa-1/530 deep super aero. 30mm profile, all polished, no brake track. harris cyclery has em, but i haven't been able to find em anywhere else. i think they may be out of production.

They say "silver", not "polished" though. I suspect these are dull silver ones. I will call them tommorrow and find out.

well, i've got one leaning against the wall not 10 feet away from me, and it's polished. i got mine off ebay, but i'm pretty sure it's the same on harris sells...

You are lucky. Harris does not sell the Arayas anymore (they say they could not get those either). Dang!

I maybe able to get the Araya SA-530C's through my contacts in Japan. I'd probably have to order a dozen or more of them at a time, so if there was enough demand, I'd see what I could do. Doubt they'd be cheap, but you never know.

I could use 2 pairs. Anyone else interested?
