they are a 24/24 drilling, and i'm going to purpose these wheels for my everyday road wheels. buzzz buzzz

i'm either going with my favorite rims to build with, archetypes, or pacenti forza rims. black.

Depends on what the rest of the bike looks like.

Unless the bike has nothing else silver on it I'd go with silver spokes and nips with the black rims.

Black spokes with silver (brass) nips.

Silver without question.

Black spokes should only be permissible with black hubs. I'm sure it's in the rules somewhere.

If it were me, I would do silver spokes and hard ano rims :)

Sliver spokes with the grey archetype rims would like nice. They grey softens the look of the rim enough that it would blend nicely with the green.

I'm no fan of green, but those are really sweet. I'd make an exception for those.
I like black spokes, so that'd be my vote, but you're not going to go wrong with either.

i'd forgive you for choosing green alloy nipples (along with silver spokes) on those...

Exactly. It would be hot.

black rims. black spokes. minimal colors...keeps the focus on the hubs.

you go silver and it's just a colourway mess.

It doesn't look like a mess to me.
