Pics of New Wheels(oddsandendos)...
Got my new wheels this week, and I absolutely love them. Got Velocity Aerohead Rims with 32 spokes front and bike. They look and ride great. Mike Garcia was great to work with and definately will have a return customer with me....

They are carbons. I read some good things about them on this site, so went with those. Thanks for the compliments. My bike was pretty boring looking, I need some color in it, so I went with the red wheels, tires, and handlebar tape, looks like a totally new bike. The wheels are friggin great, they roll so smooooooth. Cryogenic, thanks for all your posts on Mikes wheels, you were definately one of the reasons I got his wheels, and I have no doubt I made the right decision....

wow. I'm really impressed with how light these wheels are. For just $300 you can score a SpeedCific Niobium 30 set weighing in at a mere 1500 grams. Similar non-aero wheels cost twice as much.

Same wheels and same spoke count that I bought from Mike, except I went with black rims. Beautiful wheels and expert craftsmanship. As veneer said, "Welcome to the MGC club".
