Thanks Laing. I do have a set of VO rims on a bike that I recently acquired and like them so far. I've ridden on them throughout the summer quite a bit. I like that they come in a polished finish but the highest hole count is 36. I'm not sure how they will hold up just yet, but they seem nice. Wish they did 'em in a 40h. I don't mind truing a wheel, and have a truing stand, but I'd rather have a pro build the wheel.
