Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

Ideally I'd like an alu braking surface. I cannot see any Chinese clinchers with alu braking surfaces. Unless I'm missing something.

RS80s are actually looking very tempting, don't know how I had missed those.

There are lots. There are also some in the new "U-shape".

Assuming alu braking, if you want some bling then carbon/alu chinese rims on any old hubs are you best choice.

Otherwise RS80s. Bling and a good rep.

I think Stans are a nice WW rim, but they're not especially bling, especially when you're building them up with a high spoke count...which you probably should do.
