BTW when I got my wheels built, I paid a little extra to get the reflective finish Dyad, IMO it was not worth it, the reflectivity is very faint, almost nothing compared to the reflective stripes on my tire sidewalls. So just get silver or black.
Same +30lbs. Happy with the wheels (White Ind hubs and 40 double-butted spokes) and agree the halo reflective finish was not a good idea. In addition to its weak retroreflectivity it stains easily with oil and cannot be cleaned.
