Or those nice Ambrosio FCS28's? Would those rims be tru-able on the road of will the spoke barrels fall inside the rim? and $$$$$??
money to burn I'll go with those Ambrosio X-Carbo's, X-Space, or Theorema I like their rims, loyal I am to bomb proof gear. They earned my following and until price, quality or availability makes it impossible, they will be my rim of choice. EDIT**** scratch the X-Carbos...tubies only.
The other two look like they would be fixie/ss friendly...I don't know what hub they build with but it's a high flange they use for stiffness. Flip/flopable?
