I like the way my A23s ride, but they are a bear to get tires on and off of, even with thin rim tape. Most of the Velocity rims are available in polished silver for an upcharge, if classic-ish looks matter.
If I were building a set now, I'd be kind of tempted by the reflective-coat Dyads -- heavier than I need, but side reflectivity is always a plus in the middle of the night, and they don't have the tubeless-ready profile that makes the A23s a tight fit.
