All Black Rims
Anyone know where I can get all black rims? Everything seems to have a silver brake surface. Getting started on my new wheelset - Silver fixed/fixed surly's, black spokes, and hopefully all black rims.

Alex DV-15's come in non-machined.
Velocity Aeroheads - non-machined.
At various times, deep v's have come in non-machined but those are scarce.

I've got the non-machined Alex DV15s - they look pretty sweet, but I've only been riding them today and don't know how sturdy they are yet.
Question - why Silver Surlys and not the black ones?

I got Alex TD-17's - they are disc rims so not only are they unmachined, they have a really nice curve to the whole rim. A little wide, 23-25 is probably the narrowest you can run (25 is comfy for me) but it doesn't bother me any. Plus the price is nice, generally 20-22 each.

I really like my Van Dessel flip flop. All black except for the nipples.

Just another suggestion since I think they're damn sexy, and they're on my wheelset: Mavic Open Pro CD if you can find 'em. I scored a good deal on EBay.
