Thanks I wasn’t going to look to build some custom but that’s a decent idea.
The frame is chromed and the wheels just don’t look right to me so fancied a nicer set for weight and aesthetics to be honest.
I’ll list the Alex wheels and they’ll come with fixed cog and freewheel and the Tannus tyres that they came with too.
I’ll grab some h plus son rims and may use the Ambrosio Zenith chrome track hubs too.
Thanks for the steer much appreciated!
You don’t happen to know where I can get the hubs at a reasonable price?
Thanks
Dave

Dp18 are heavy. Most track wheels are over built and tank like. Depends on what you want. The wheels that came with your fixie probably retail for £100 per pair so that should tell you the second hand price. You might as well keep them and hoard.
You have not explained why you want to change your wheels.
If it were me I would get some kinlin xr22t silver rims laced to silver track hubs. I use zenith as they are reasonably light and well made. The rims are 24f/28r and given this is a flip flop rear no one needs more spokes. The archetype rim also looks good in silver. There are a few silver rims available in lower spoke count.
