I need to replace the front rim on my silver Planet X AL30 wheels. The rim I need is the Kinlin XR-300 (Same as the Halo Mercury, IRD Cadence Aero, and several other branded rims). However the silver version of this can't be found anywhere except in the USA or Taiwan at the moment.
I'm only after one rim and my budget is tight so I'm just putting this out there to see if anyone else is in need of some good, cheap, semi aero rims? This is the one I'm looking to buy
There are some other Kinlin models and cheap hubs available from the Ebay shop here
Expedited shipping to the UK is about $50, and they guys promise to mark all orders as gifts to avoid import duty (see the listing pages). So it could work out pretty cheap. For example if someone wanted to buy a pair to go with my single then that would come to about $155/£92, so under £31 per rim. I'm happy to arrange it if anyone else around London wants to join in.
There's a pic of the XR-300 (silver) rims built up at the bottom of my project thread
