27" deep-v?

is it possible that there are 27" deep-v rims? or anything in that style? knock-offs will suffice.

i've got an old frame that i think would look much better on it's original 27" size than on 700's.

If you can't find them, a bike meant for 27's looks better with a normal 27'' rim than any 700c imo.

when i converted my Fuji it had 27" rims and infact the front is still a 27 haha, but i was pretty set on getting a 27" rear wheel that was a flipflop and i went with a 700c just because it was easier to find.

i know some bikes NEED to have 27" otherwise they just look awful. Luckily my bike looks fine with either.

the difference never seemed like much, but the deep v's will make it look smaller or bigger, im not sure which way the optics work.

I don't think they were this cool when 27s were the "it" thing.
