I'm looking for something lightish that will take a bit of a beating, a 2.4 (or even 2.5) tyre an is an appealing red colour. Kind of like a red ano Stan's Flow or Mavic 321. So what's out there?

Serves me right for asking on a Friday night, I suppose.

Sorry, but it did make me giggle like a school girl.
On a more serious note have you looked at spank rims? they do all sorts of lovely anodised rims that'll take a hammering

LOL at Tazzy's deadpan answer

Looked at the Spanks. Wee bit heavy, maybe?

321's are heavy too though….

I've got these on my bike:

most pimpy rims are for jumpy pumpy bikes so they are going to be hefty. Mainstream companies are only just being daring and offering white rims.

oooooo red stans…..they're pretty

powder coat? there are some lovely fatbikes on mtbr with painted rims.

Matthew_h those red Stan's are nice. Where'd you get them?
