Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ceramic Rim Options?

Do you guys know of any companies that make ceramic rims other than the Mavic Open Pro CD? For largely cosmetic reasons, I want a wheel that has a black brake track, though it definitely wont hurt my braking performance in the rain.

I know anodized versions exist, but aren't considering them since it will wear off after a few hundred miles. Ive seen on various forums that Troy at Ligero Wheelworks was having batches of rims custom coated, but haven't seen his name mentioned any more recently than about 2008.
