Funny you should ask this. I went out for my first ride on my white rims last night.

Alex do some XD lites in white....just taken a set of my bike, so if you are interested you can have them for a tenner and will drop them of to you if you are in either leicester, nottingham or northampton. OH and its for the hoops only as i used the xt hubs on new build, they are straight and unmarked.

It does look better than the photo shopped one doesnt it.

I think the bike looks better for it. I like the idea of wheels saddles bars posts etc being available in lots of different colours. It makes bikes really look different rather than them all looking drab and boring like mine used to.

[url= http://www.syncros.com/rims.htm ]Syncros FLDS23 rims[/url] - I swapped out my DT 4.2s that were built into Hope SP3 Hoops, and they're sooooooo much better (and white, of course).

Lifecyles built them up for me, and they also, I think, offer the Spank rims in most colours. Like the previous repsonder said, it sort of depends what you want to do with them, but Syncros have a broad range of rims to suit most stuff, I think.

Funny that because none of the bikes posted belong to young lads.

I_Ache, sorry, it's a retort to a gag billybull made to me the other day, obviously pensioners can use white rims too.

FWIW, I think that's the best looking Turner I've seen. Mibbe because the white bits draw the eye away from that awful looking frame 😆
