Hi was thinking of the is rim
DT swiss XR 400 white
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=45378
or this No Tubes ZTR Alpine white
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=49049

was wanting to run tubeless too

was also wanting to have white spokes which seem hard to find LBS said £2.50 each spoke! seems a bit ott.

And alloy coloured nips!i know they lock on and are mnt to be poor but would look good!

My LBS says this is not possiable due to 2mm spoke hole and 1.8mm spokes?

any one got any ideas?

Already have a hope hub that i will use!

DT Comp spokes are available in white at a RRP of £2.99 each (so about £2.50 from a LBS is about right), but do bear in mind that they will quite possibly end up looking shite as the coating will rub off where the spokes lace across each other. For a radial lacing they would look awesome.

I am having a set of white crest rims built up at the mo' and have decided to go with black DT Comp spokes and although I was desperate to go with red anodised nipples (to match the red hope hubs), i am going for brass in the interests of longevity (vanity has to have a limit and i think i found it here)
