Carbon or Alloy Wheel set for New Build

[Mark McM]

If it were me:

I'd want to the wheels to match the frame - but not necessarily match each other. So I'd get a set of custom built wheels, a silver rear wheel and black front wheel.

Silver is only really an option in aluminum rims, but as this is a rim brake frame aluminum rims might be prefered here anyway. Fortunately there are number of aluminum rims that are available in both silver and black, as well as a number of hubs that are available in both silver and black (including Campagnolo Record hubs), and of course spokes are available in silver and black.

So, I'd go silver rim, hub and spokes in the rear (with maybe black nipples for a little contrast), and black rim, hub and spokes in the front (with maybe silver nipples for a little contrast). QR skewers are also available in silver and black, so I might go contrasting colors here, too.
