Fusions do come in white, but if you read the thread a few days ago, you may want to go with a Mavic rim as it seems they are made better. Personally, I've never ridden Mavic rims and I've never had a problem with a Velocity rim, either.

Go high flange for a more solid wheel...think of the distance between the spoke nipple to the hub flange...it's shorter with high flange...stronger wheel.

Radial is structurally not as strong as a 3-cross, definitely go 3-cross...you're riding on the street, correct?
