Suggestions for nice silver clincher rims :)

Just had a set of wheels built using the DRC ST17 rims onto Ambrosio Zenith road hubs. Beautifully made rims indeed, made in Italy, they were £29.99 per rim. Not the lightest (about 510g), but the bike shop rated them higher than Mavic Open Pro's.
The cheap route would be Rigida Chrina (double eyeleted) about £18.00 per rim. My fixed gear wheels will probably be made of these as I don't won't to spend the earth. http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php ... gb&vid=157

silver Open Sports?
One thing to check is the depth of the rim. Nowadays, most clinchers are much deeper than old sprints. Brick Lane sells a very shallow (14mm) silver clincher from an interesting outfit in China called H Plus Son, but they're pricey and have had mixed reviews on the net if you can believe the stuff posted.

£55 quid a rim..............I'd have to get rid of that silly badge around the valve hole.

I think that was inspired by the counterweight on the Ambrosio Nemesis.
