We all know that a nice set of wheels can transform an ugly duckling FG into a swan, but often times the cost is prohibitive. After building my latest FG, I was pretty pleased with the result, except for the old beat-up rusty cheap wheels that I put on it just to get it on the road. I was looking for a set of carbon tubular track wheels that didn't cost a fortune and didn't weight a ton, and found these for about 1/4 the cost of a set of Zip 404 track wheels:

I think they'll look great on my FG with it's narrow tire black aero TT theme. I've got a pair of narrow 21mm Tufo S33 Special tubulars that I think will fit perfectly and look right.

Anyone who has done something similar, please add it to this thread.
