Silver A23s are as close as you'll come, I'm pretty sure.

I'm pretty sure not.

I've asked Andy at HED and that's a no for the foreseeable future. Functionally, they are some of the best rims I've ever used, if that makes any difference.

Cheers,
Dave

There is a new rim that has come out which is 25mm high, 23mm wide, 450grams called the H Plus Son Archetype, which comes in polished silver.

I too am looking for something similar. Any experience with H Plus Son Archetype? I am about to pull the trigger on some Kinlin xr 270 silver but would prefer a wider rim.

I don't have any experience with the new H Plus Son rims, but I ended up getting rid of my new Kinlin XR300 rims because I had such terrible brake pulsing.

The Grand Bois 23's are polished silver and spectacular. I just built a pair and got them at Compass.

Hope I am not hijacking here...any chance you could post a pic or two...pretty please? I need to pull the trigger on my rims so I can finish my build. Grazie!
