the word 'look' has been used far too many times in this thread. Doesnt sound like you give a shit about what it looks like right? Velocity Deep v's (and i realise that im commiting sacrilige here) are not particuarly good quality rims, and only worth going for if u want the look. There will be no aerodynamic advantages to using such a wheel (its a single speed after all) aerodynamics are discountable unless your reachin 25 mph approx.
I would recommend A mavic open pro. Sports are noticably less robust. I have built wheels with all the rims talked about above and none of them build better than an open pro (or ultimately a dt swiss rr 1.1 but they are pricey)
Fuck the deep section, its so not necessary
I think im ready for the abuse ;)
