Help me Choose between these 2 Wheelsets
Guys, Help me to choose between the 2 wheelsets, cause the price are almost the same
Novatec Low Flange 20/24
"Legend" Rims 22mm (Generic rims, You can see the welded joints)
Generic Bladed Spokes
Novatec Low Flange 20/24
Aero 3 Rims from Taiwan (30mm)
Newson Silver Spokes
on the second wheelset, Im going to "Copy" the Campagnolo Pista wheelset. My question is, (other than weight cause the first one will be better) in terms of Performance and durability. Which of the 2 is better? or your own opinion why is it better than the other? Btw im going to put some Campagnolo Pista Decals so it will look kinda awsome. Tia for the answer!

Personally, I prefer to rip the decals off. let them guess.
@SuperPershing
Personally, I'd go with the 30's and the silver spokes, no decals, but then I like deep section wheels and less "flash".
That being said, you haven't really told us what you're doing with them, road, track, etc. Performance wise, given the same mfg. method of fabrication, materials, etc... deeper section will generally be more aero and more durable, but heavier. The difference in weight between a 22mm and a 30mm rim should be fairly minimal, so unless you're planning on doing hill climbs, I doubt you'd notice. Again... that's assuming the only difference is rim depth. When you start bringing different mfgs. into it, there are more variables. Different alloys, wall thicknesses, cross section design, all can play into how heavy or durable a rim is.

Either stop being a peasant and get some actual Campanoglos or don't be a lame posuer and just ride the crap wheels you want. Don't crap in an ice cream machine and call it soft serve.
You should be like that kid who bought the fake Pinarello and claims he wasn't trying to be a poseur. Maybe build up one with some old Magna parts and put fake stickers on everything, it will have all the prestige of a pile of rotting garbage at half the price.

Well, as I have no idea what "legend" rims are, and can only assume the "Aero 3" rims are going to be similar to something off of Alibaba... Novatec hubs... all pretty generic. May as well go with the 30's and try em out.
Just for the love of god, don't put Campy stickers on them. Find someone with a cricut or something and design your own brand, but don't try to make them into something they're not.

I really do drag sprint back in February last year. But since then, one by one everyone quit fixed so I have no friends or opponents to race with. And now the resurgence of fixed gear here in Manila are now hot as ever, Full of crits and drag sprints. That's why I'm planning on some new wheels. But in crits I guess it will be my first time
