colored rims/wheelsets

I know velocity makes colored rims, but they don't sell directly to consumers online. Who besides nycbikes sells colored rims and/or wheelsets. I am thinking either blue, red or pink.

I thought I noticed some dissent on nycbikes on the forums earlier? Or was I wrong

I think they're $175-$250 for a set, depending on whether you get the Deep V or the Aero. Just a back wheel with the Aero is $100.

i'm probably going to get red tires, much cheaper than red rims...

I built these



you can usually buy Velocity deep V's at your local bike shop. get one of those truing stands and a dishing tool online. they don't have to be that top of the line park tool **** that cost's $200. unless you plan on opening a bike shop. then just get the hubs and spokes cut and build them yourself.

it's not that hard, you just have to be patient and take your time to get them right.
