Actually, for the Norman, I'm using the Velocity Synergy which isn't a V-shaped rim - the profile is more like a Sun CR-18. It's still not as traditional as I'd like, but better than a Blunt, Dyad or a Deep-V. It was not easy finding 40 hole count rims in the style I was wanting for the bike, that's for sure. The LBS had to order them direct from Velocity since the distributors don't carry them. I put a picture of the Synergy rims built into wheels below.
