My road-like Fuji Hybrid came with road wheels and while they would work with fairly wide tires I wanted to use wider than is generally recommended for them. So I had my shop order me one of these and one of these. The Velocity A23 rim is plenty wide enough for any tire that is likely to fit a road or hybrid frame and yet Velocity recommends them for 23 mm road tires too. I only have a few hundred miles on them but I am quite happy with the switch. Handspun makes a wide variety of wheels if you would like something a little different and most local shops can order them through QBP.

Now, if you want some seriously wide tires you want a Pugsley.
