*** Show off your WHEELS! ***
I'll admit that I'm shopping for a new deep section wheelset mainly for how awesome it looks. I'm not ashamed....I'm never going to race my bike and doubt that I'll ever notice the difference those fewer grams makes, or ever really reap the aero benefits the deeper rims afford me.
I only do 30-40mile daily rides up and down hills by myself, so any sub1800g wheelset really will be fine for me.
Here are some cool looking wheels I've found...please post yours!

you got it just about covered there. I thought you were talking about wheels you actually own. Those aren't all yours I assume, just bike porn pics.
hmmmmm.

I love the look of carbon rims with white decals. They look sweet when in motion, almost like they're spinning backwards

Bukkid nekkid carbon is the best... No stinking, garish and ugly logos. IMHO, companies should be PAYING you to advertise their goods... Just saying!

I'm confused. Just a few days ago in another thread ( https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...g-for-the-buck )you went on and on about how SRAM sucks, its garbage and that your a bike mechanic and see many more failures of SRAM vs. Shimano. Your TT bike is decked out in SRAM red??? Not your bike?? A friend's bike who you were unable to enlighten with your SRAM is garbage mantra?? Hmmmm??
