If you like deep v's but dont want to be like everyone else, take a look at the weinmann offerings (specifically the dp18). They make deep dish rims that look exactly like deep v's and in a few color options. I cant find them anywhere online so good luck finding them, but ive seen them in red,white, black, and i think i saw them in gold somewhere(and i remember that they looked better than gold deep vs).

I dont know how they perform relative to any other rims, my guess is that there comparable to velocities. Open pros are good rims, and ive heard good things about the dt swiss rims.

Or if you got the money you can buy just the rim from a zipp wheelset and you can also get phil wood to do custom hole drillings, combine these 2 and you got the ultimate deep dish wheelset. Bottomline for performance id recommend mavic OP's, and for style get the velocity deep v's
