Archetype, reasonably light, nice and wide for 28mm+ tyres, and very tough.
Santa Fixie have some nice wheelset for a reasonable price.

Nr 3 came from James Pistoffski originaly if I'm correct, used to be on his yellow Look.

Christ! Good to hear re; wheels. I remember those things taking me all the way to the bright lights of East Grinstead on my first fixed solo mission back in the day, only fell over once

I don't really know anything about wheels other than the aesthetics.
1) First set for first fixed bike came from @Hobo which came fromthe Bianchi of a certain @Crispin_Glover. These are still in existence and went from my bike to the missus' bike and are still used regularly by the old man.
2) Next came some H+Son's on Paul Components which @dogsballs built. These are currently in the Middle East adorning the IndyFabs.
3) Next came some Wolber Profil on DA7600 which both @laner and @DoktorPepe have owned. Not too sure where I got them though, but they're in the UK on my Kalavinka.
4) Road wheels were Mavics on Ultegra that came on the bike. They're obviously still on the road bike.
Haven't really given much thought to how light they need to be though.
They'll obviously have to be fairly robust, although my days of giving it the Danny MacAskill's are long gone.
