Peda,


you do realise that AC dont sell there rims individually. Only as part of a wheelset.

Most previous comments on the Stans rims are that the finish is not perfect. Try a :search: for more fedback on Stans rims

I've the Am Classic rims, bought at xx-light-bikes, too.
They are very nice. The finish is nice, but not so very nice like a Mavic. The side of the rims is just brushed, not lathed. But after some brakings you cannot see something of it ;)

I dont know the Stans, but you read very much of problems with this rims, e.g. about breaking up rimgrounds.
