By the way, they are really 45mm? They don't seem that much deeper than the currents ones.
They don't look any different except for the dimples. I thought the extra rim height would be more noticable. The rim has a very round cross section now.

I was told by Zipp that they are 44mm (which is only a 6mm increase). You can tell by the size of the Zipp stickers that the rim depth is slightly larger.

To add multiple pictures to one post, just click 'add attachment' after each upload. I think the limit is six per post. You can also preview the attached files by pressing 'posted attachments'.

the difference in rim depth is hard to notice unless you have a set of 05 303s standing right next to them. the rims are only slightly heavier than last year's version and as aero as the 404 before it became dimpled i have been told.
all in all they are a fantastic new wheelset. we built up a pair with traditional flange hubs and 2 cross spokes for a show bike and they were only about 1050g and rode marvelously... the extra stiffness is great.
