i think i'm gonna get it. its less than 200g, which is absurd, but i'm not going to be doing anything too radical. it's american-made (i'm assuming this), and i support paying a little extra for american labor. plus i already have a 24-hole rxl rim lying around.
as a side-note, i don't think this is an appropriate place to get political. we all know America is the greatest country and should turn communist and take over the world.

country of origin?
not sure that it's US made.
Bolt-on Novatec's are a good buy. imo. about a $100 a set shipped.

yeah.. you're right, i'm not sure either. under "contact" on their website they have both a US and Taiwan office. i may have assumed incorrectly. my personal belief that is if your company name contains "american," it should be an american product and anything different is unpatriotic. i'll skip the novatec's, but thanks for the mention. i might get the american classic's just because they're exactly what i need. else i'd get a phil wood.

Contributing to a society is a value put upon you by the very members of the society that stand to benefit. We are all brainwashed to believe that it is somehow of an objective and absolute value to contribute to those around us when in fact we only gain by helping those that help us.

If you do a bit a research on the company you will find they build quality wheelsets. The track nuts are good too, they are hex key style not 15mm like usual, i personally like them.

Oh, Anton LaVey.
I used to live a few doors away from him in San Francisco. No ****.
He lived in the Richmond district.
I was there too when they tore the house down in 02' or 03'. Cant remember.
He didnt fit into the neighborhood, to say the least.

OP-
FYI, it appears the AC track hubs are no longer being made, most retailers are sold out of the old stock.
These are the closest matches I can find to the AC hubs (and they have more build options too):
