Advice on wheels and freewheels.
Hi guys,
I don't know much about about bikes, so bare with me.
I want to buy new front and rear wheels but I have no idea what's 'good' or how much they should be.
I'm not looking for anything fancy, I just want it to be all black (the spokes as well as the rim itself).
I also want to buy a new freewheel because mine is getting cranky and making a lot of noise and has gotten louder in the past week
Any advice would be good, thanks!

My girlfriend's single speed uses a shimano freewheel, they are fairly quiet.
