These are the HongFu "Zipp" profile wheels.

56 clinchers are supposed to be shipping any day now. Tubulars in all sizes, and clinchers in others sizes as well, are still testing.
These are the closest things to Zipps you will be able to get if they actually ever ship. I personally just want the rim to build up my own set or two.
There really isn't any true wide profile too prodigal shaped wheel out except the major manufacturers, or a few custom builders with their own moulds. This will be the only and first open mould wide profile wheel like Bont, Zipp FC! Etc...
