cheap "aero" style wheels?

Im thinking about getting rid of the steel 27" thats on my front fork right now

I want something that looks like a HED 3 or an Aerospoke but i dont feel like paying for either of those so my question is is there any cheaper knockoff brands that make "aero" wheels or something that looks similar?

I really dont care how "Aero" it actually is, and im not talking about genuine bladed spoke aero wheels. I'm just looking for something badass looking

Get the ceramic bearings. I think they ship for free, too.

Ask muckymucky where he got his rear disc. Perfect for a street setup. I heard it even cuts thru crosswinds.

Get this; instant street cred. Brah its' one of the best wheels to do bar spinz on. No clearance no problem, wheel automatically accommodates frame while retaining rigidity. Its cheap too mavic is just a copy cat company from china.

Just hold off until Urban Outfitters starts producing aero wheels to go with their bikes.
