Any deals on wheels atm?

Looking to build up a cheap ss/fg so looking for a deal on some wheels w/ flip flop hubs.

Anyone know of any specials? Doesn't have to be new as long as they're relatively decent.

Have been looking @ Wheel & Sprocket, Bike Wheel Warehouse and Ben's Cycles.

Thanks,

shop.bellsbikeshop.com - https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=280309976209 - Weinmann DP18s for $167.99 w/ flip-flop hub. I bought the same pair with a machined front wheel for $7 or so more. He's also got white/colored tires for $35.99 a pair, which is a better deal than I'd found elsewhere.

got my mavic cxp-22/formulas for $145 from bicyclewheelwarehouse.com. shipped quickly and i haven't had to true them once, with 5 months of hard riding and crap-tastic streets. also came with a 15t cog and a formula lockring, and rim tape. wasn't expecting those "extras".

for tires, check out probikekit.com. i got my girlfriend's tires for $10 a piece, and they come in colors. some cheap michelins. they are not thick, so not great for skidding, but they do skid easily enough. time will tell if they are durable. she still can't skid, so its not a huge issue for her yet.
