There are a couple of good rims still available new from the states. Sun CR18 and M13 II. the M13 are slightly better made apparently. SJS sell Jalco(anyone know if they're any good?) and ebay always has bankrupt pairs of wheels for £30. Nice pairs come up on ebay now and again as well, got my eye on some at the mo(dibs).
I reckon its worth the effort of finding the wheels if your frame was made for it, the huge gaps and general crappy proportions with 700c look awful IMO.
Was advised in BLB that they're impossible to get, won't stand up to londons roads, harder to keep true and would i like some velocitys instead? I left at that point. Shame, i thought they'd be down with the rare wheel status.
