Before committing to the NMSW life, have a look at some Mavic CD (couche dure = hard coat) rims from the 80s and 90s and then remember that hard anodising lasts about 10 times as long as the soft anodising you'll find on current rims.

My understanding is that's what the Oxic coating is on the DT Swiss, or at least the same sort of idea.
Obviously there isn't much point going to the trouble of sourcing all black wheels if the colour on the brake track is going to wear off after a short while but a modern tubeless compatible coated rim would mostly negate that problem right?@Skülly Doesn't need to be all black, just not shiny silver. Definitely has to be aluminium and tubeless though, already have a set of carbon wheels, looking to build a set of winter wheels.

Ahh that makes sense, in my head I was thinking that it would be less grippy for some reason
