I'm after new wheels for the road bike:

Nowhere has black Planet X model B's/ Prolite Luciano's in stock so the alternative is to have white Model B's - but I'm not sure if they'd look reet rubbish. If anyone is more technologically advanced than me and can photoshop white wheels on the photo above I'd be very grateful!
Also if anyone has any other suggestions for decent £140ish wheels please let me know.
Cheers
Matt
Oh and it's not my garden (or smoker)

Yes.

And since they paint them white, it'll be heavier too.

Every bike with white wheels, no matter how expensive, looks like something from the lower end of Halfords price range. FACT!

That's a pretty resounding no to the white wheels then!
Tracknico - loving your work there part of me really hopes you did that by printing the picture out and then drawing those wheels on with tippex..
So what other recommendations are there for £140ish wheels (rocketman I know nowt about Alex Supra D's so enlighten me and fire through some pics to the email in my profile please)
Cheers all.

Nah. He's way more IT literate than that. He put tippex on the screen then took a photo.
