Colored Light Rims

Im sorry guys, my friend helped me out this weekend, and hes making me ask this, he wont let me just search. But...

My friend is looking for a rear wheel that is colored like the deep v, but is lighter or stronger. Pretty much, what is the best deep v like wheel, or their alternative.

Sorry again, but thanks.

P.S he wants it to look good with his front white aerospoke. and
hes wondering what hub you would lace it to.

Velocity makes fusions and aeroheads in white I believe, both are lighter than the deep-v, stronger, maybe not, but does he really need that? Maybe go to 36 spokes?

wiennmans are probably as strong and light as it gets. They work extra well on conversions and match arowspooks real well.

This makes so little sense. He wants something light and strong, but he's got one of the most notoriously heavy wheels on the front? And colored is a criteria? Just have him get a deep v or a fusion and be done with it. They work just dandy and look great. A bit heavier for sure, but certainly durable.
