I'm looking to build a new wheelset and I'm interested in low profile boxed rims that are polished silver. So far I know of the Open Pros and the Sun CR-18. The Araya Golds are perfect but I'm not doing the tubular thing. Any other quality rims out there that fit this description?

open pros come in polished silver?

pretty much any low profile rim can be what you want if you spend a few hours with a buffing wheel.

I just got an IRD Cadence Aero wheel polished at a powdercoating/anodizing shop. It's so damn shiney I can see my face in the reflection... it doesn't cost too much to get them polished if you don't want to do it yourself. I went the professional route because I didn't have any suitable place in my living space to fool around with lye for the deanodizing, and realized buying the stuff I needed would cost just about as much as having someone else do it.

Just wade through eBay for NOS box rims from the 80's/earlier, then get it polished. I bet it wouldn't be hard to find some Araya clinchers that are like the Reds.

I'm not looking to get any aero rims, just low profile. As for polished maybe I used the wrong word. As long as they are silver I'll be happy.

You'll occasionally find NOS MA2's on Ebay. They're very nice rims. I'm running a set on my Steamroller.
