Braking surface? Dude... It's a fixed gear. You slow down with your feet and even a tekro caliper on a basic rim is going to lock up enough to buckaroo you.
System Ex to Open pro is the best pound for pound (weight/looks/quality/durability) wheel you'll get for fixed road riding.
Fine if want a blinger wheelset, cool. But you don't need one....
Thought a brake was your next purchase anyway?
