Question Wheel source suggestions?

I'm thinking about getting some new wheels, probably Fikse or Kinesis, to replace my hollow-spoke 18's. Are there any sources that are less expensive than the main-line dealers? Suggestions appreciated, thanks.

http://forgeline.com/wheels/index.html - no affiliation - just a happy customer. I'm not sure if you would save any money though, they are a bit on the $$$ side.

Burt-

You can try Wheel Enhancement. They will buy your Technology wheels and they also have a good selection of wheels.

As far as price, your S.O.L. If your looking at Fiske, Kinesis, HRE, etc. your looking at spending a fair chunk of change.

When I spoke to Kinesis a few years back (was considering K58Rs) they gave a 15% discount to racers and PCA members. One plus w. dealing directly with the factory is that you can have them build your wheels to your spec (say a 12" or 13" rear).
