White V's on white spokes...

That's all I want, on formula hubs. My local shop wants $380 to build em up, but I want them already built and ready to order. I see the B43s everywhere, which are super clean with white on white on gold, but they might be too clean for the look I want. Plus I want a machined sidewall on the front. So where can I get white on white on white for like $250?

Bell's Bike Shop will most likely build them for less. Contact them and ask.

These don't have a machined front, but:

considering he likes white spokes and rims with a gold hub, weight is probably not the first thing on his mind.

If you intend to ride the bike, "clean" is definitely not going to apply. Here's a picture of my white Deep Vs:

That's the rear, so that's not even taking into account brake residue. I actually kind of like the look, but it's not clean. My black Open Pros look way more clean even when filthy.

I have white wheels and white spokes and I ride the hell out of my bike and they stay clean. You just have to take care of them and clean them which I do everytime I clean and oil my chain.
