Nemesis "day" rims?

Anyone ever heard of these or know how they might differ from regular Nemesis rims?

Just curious.

I have zero need, but am tempted to buy these and build them to some campag hubs. I need to stop looking at ebay...

No personal experience. Hope this helps!

I'd go for the last version if you can find them. They also had slightly flatter braking surfaces that were also marginally taller, so slightly better with modern brake shoes.
There you go, Nick.

As though you needed another reason to purchase the pair and build up some lovely tubular wheels…
