  for 350 you could have dt swiss rims and hubs, which I would pick any day over hunt/superstar

  • DT swiss M502 rims f+r = £100
    
  • DT swiss 350 front hub = £50
    
  • DT swiss 350 rear hub = £120
    
  • Bling spokes of your choice = £80
    
    

  Can even do the ratchet upgrade on the rear hub if you want to be a baller

  don't buy anything with hope rims

  i'd buy cheap rims from planet x (e.g. this), then build them up to hope/dt swiss/shimano hubs
