I recently purchased a bike frame for pretty cheap to replace my recently stolen Raleigh beater, and want to make a fixed gear for the remainder of fall and possibly the winter. I'm looking to get a pretty cheap wheelset for it. I'm leaning towards getting Weinmann DP 18's, for only $140 for the set.(

I've also been looking at these:

I'm planning on putting at least a front brake on it. I've heard you can put a brake on a non-machined rim, but I don't have any experience with that.
If anyone could give me any input it'd be greatly appreciated.
