My opinion is that since fixed gear bikes are more difficult to accelerate, light wheels are even more important and more fun than on geared bikes. I have two fixed gear bikes, one with Phil hubs and Velocity Deep V's, the other 1st gen Dura Ace front hub, and a Nashbar flip flop rear on Mavic Open Pro rims. The Phil Wood hubs and Deep Vs are gathering dust since the lighter Open Pro wheels ride so nicely.
I'd love to have some even lighter wheels on a fixed gear. You can buy a pre built fixed gear cheaper than you can build one, but you may not love it as much. |

I would never say an Omnomnom looks better than a 75 crank. No huge logo just clean lines and simple looks or if you like it spicy Super 75s with a Super Zen Chainring HELLOOOOOOOOOO!
I just don't like the look of the Omnomnom logo, if they ditched that it would look way better, ATMO |
If you live near a bike co-op, it's likely you can build your fixie there with advice as well as source old and new parts. Many riders do that here in Cleveland at the Ohio City Bike Co-op.

As far as tires go I don't think I'll ever run anything but Gatorskins. I currently have 700x28s on my Soma Rush build
