Bianchi Celeste Wheels?
 
Looking to upgrade my Bianchi. Anyone have suggestions for some nice matching wheels? Celeste? ;)

nothing beats black wheels with big writing on them :)

I reckon the recent attempted trend for silver rims to make a comeback will fail

Bora Bora... wheels, holiday or just because it sounds cool

i think celeste tires are as close as you'll get. I think puter / gun metal gray looks really good with celeste, so I'd look in to some puter rims.

Who makes Celeste tires?

They are super hard to find now, i think it was michilen who used to make them, but who ever it was stopped so usually the celeste tires I find are NOS or 'slightly used' on ebay.

lists a couple of NOS but no mail order, have to show up at the yard sale, apparently

Celeste tires would be cool too... yeah. So I guess I'm back to square one.

Looks first, performance later. :)

Vittoria Rubino Pro in celeste http://www.glorycycles.com/viruprobicl.html
Apparently out of production, but this place has had them on closeout for months now, must have bought up the remaining stock.

I don't know of any celeste wheels (and I probably would have found them during my celeste phase with my Bianchi Veloce). I got black to match the stem, bars, post, and cranks I had on mine. I suppose you could get deep rims, get some BIANCHI stickers, cut each letter seperately and put them around the rim. Just a thought.

If your LBS deals Bianchi, they should be able to get them, I forget the brand, but they exist.

My faves right now are a set of NOS Grand Prix 3000s that actually match my 80's frame a lot better than the Vittorias did... Good luck finding those...
