Here's my set of flows on pro 2 hubs on 3 different bikes:

I've had them about 2 years now and they're still in good nick. Yes they have quite a lot of chips and stuff but any bike that's ridden will. From a distance you still get the pimped out look fo sho.

Presonally I think that any clour other than black just looks wrong. Too much stickerage also looks wrong and can make the wheel look wonky.

as I thought... though that singular looks nice, it would still probably look better with black (or even better, polished alu!)

white wheels are heavier. FACT.

(may only be true for stans rims, but it is still a FACT).

White seatpost didn't last too long.... 1 bit of white too far.

And with black rims for comparison....

captaindanger thanks for starting this thread - i'm thinking of some white xc rims too. I've always been anti white - black rims, spokes and hubs on all bikes. But some of the white rims on this thread don't look too bad i think white forks help

Does white clean up ok post winter ride or does it lose its super whiteness?

Not a very good picture I'm afraid.

Wasn't sure about the white rims, but the black versions were hideous. Looks ok I think.

Bit of a spam but I might also know of some for sale. Synchros DS28 on Formula hubs. Front is a 15mm axle and the rear is 12x135. They have been taken off a mate's Saracen Ariel for no reason other than he wanted black ones :roll:. Email me if interested.

I was a bit unsure about these:

as the bike had always had all-black parts but they looked OK.
Weird angle on that shot by the way, frame seems to look smaller than it actually is...

White rims never fail to make any bike look cheap.

I've just taken delivery of some white rims. The urge to doodle on them with marker pens is strong. I'm thinking four letter expletives...

They look ok on "fast" looking bikes like that Lapierre or Commencal

On trail centre mincing "hardcore hardtails" like on one/ragley/cotic they look absolutely shite. It seems that the biffers who own these types of bikes have absolutely no taste as they always seem to spec white rims, along with white bars, white forks, a white saddle, white grips etc. etc.
