Hed Belgium

This.

If you are going to go spendy with Royce hubs for Sunday best then I would definitely recommend Hed Belgiums. If you don't want to go spendy then the DT Swiss R460 can be a good alternative. But in all respects of weight, finish, and bling factor the Hed Belgium has it over the Archetype, R460, and the SL23. Also, I have huge bother fitting tyres to SL23s, much more difficult than the other rims I mentioned.

If you are going to go spendy

Aye, and there's the rub. What are you actually gaining by spending £700 on Belgium/Royce over £150 DT R24s?
