You mentioned singlespeed in the other thread.It's a good idea to use front&rear brakes on SS, so you might wanna get both rims with MSW.

I have this exact wheelset. They are a little bit heavy, but for $130 they are a very solid choice.
The stickers are very easily removed. I used a blow dryer on low to heat up the stickers a bit, but you can really just pull them off without leaving any residue if you go slowly.

oh, and I don't like white tires, thanks though.

Running just a front brake on a SS is a option, but not a very safe one.If the cable should snap you'll be SOL.Having said this,I've run SS with just a front, but i've also run bikes with suicide hubs and at one point had all my fixed gears brakeless.I have also dropped chains on my brakeless bikes while aproaching intersections and been able to flintstone/ted shred/merge into crosstraffic without stressing out.If you think you can handle some unforseen crap, go ahead with the front only.If you're not sure,don't worry about cool and do both brakes.Btw,those DP18s to formulas have served me well,just make sure to have the wheels tensioned and trued before you use them.It'll save you worries down the line.

awesome thanks for the reply, im not sure though, bikeisland has free shipping and i found these there.
https://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_S...ls&ProdID=1917
https://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_S...ls&ProdID=1562
im sure about the difference, i think the first one, the cheaper one, is a fixe / ss set.
but, free shipping, $100 or so, and with tubes and tires, sounds like a steal, but, are they worth it?

As for the two sets you posted from BikeIsland, I can tell you that the second one is a road wheelset. Instead of choosing an unknown wheelset from BI, look at these Amelias. Sometimes they go on sale for $100 shipped.
