IMO NMSW in the back, NMSW / MSW up front which turns silver after usage (if black rims). Shows you actually ride it. All black rims non-disc rims on a road fixed looks like a shop window / for looks only. One other thought is the H plus son archetype hard anodised which isn't black but isn't silver, and the brake track doesn't really pop out. They are nice

Yeah i think we're on the same page (edited post - NMSW), but i have noticed MSW f&r is almost less awkward than front only IMO.
Problem is most modern wide rims have a higher profile so the MSW really stands out. It looks a lot less contrasty on low profile box sections (Open Pro, TB14) but i want something lighter/lower spoke count that's wide. Archeytype hard ano is a good call but not sure it's a better rim than the XR22 which is what they'll be replacing.

Hive mind, in terms of aesthetics what looks less shit on a road fixed with black rims (or any road riding fixed gear with a brake)
MSW front with matching rear disc/NMSW?
Or MSW front and rear so at least they match?
After going back through this thread i'm undecided.
Won't be going single speed or F&R brake on this bike so this is purely a looks question. Silver would be the logical option but i didn't like how it looked when i tried a loaner.
