700c thru axle disc wheelset in SILVER (?)
So I'm diving into the disc world for road/gravel bikes and I'm building from scratch as well as spare parts. I have a frame with the "standard" road thru axles (12×100 and 12×142) and it seems like all the options for wheelsets are black. Does anyone make a silver (rim/spoke/hub) 700c thru axle disc wheelset for a reasonable price or is this a custom build sort of thing? I find it hard to believe that all of these wheelsets are black, but I havent seen any in silver in my searching.

Finding anything in silver is going to be a challenge.
I was SUPER impressed with a set of Weinmann XP24 wheels I came across at my local co-op. Polished, deepish section, double wall, 24 double butted spokes on cartridge bearing hubs. (Weinmann anything is your cheap option.)
Velocity also anodizes a whole bunch of different colors. (That is a more expensive option, Quills are their lightest.)
You are in custom build territory. IME.
All the moreso if you want decent hubs, anything unusual &/or double butted spokes.
What are your criteria besides color & 12mm through axle, disc?
