That's going to require either twisting PSIMET's arm, buying the rims myself and having them shipped to Rob, or going with a different builder.

I've already taken up a fair bit of Robs time with emails regarding the wheel build (changed my mind mid-way from the XR-300 to the wider options), so out of respect for him I'd like to spend my money there. ProWheelBuilder.com will do the HED/White Industries build at an attractive price, but recent reviews haven't been completely positive and I like interacting directly with a wheel builder. Brain (RidgebackWheels) who did the Ambrioso/Campy wheels I have on my Serotta has his hands full with his day job and a young addition to his family. And Eric at Ergottwheels.com, and WheelBuilder.com both also will do the build at the upper reaches of what my budget for the wheels would be.
