A couple of down sides though: Pain to keep clean and a pain to repair a flat (tube)...
Other than that, all good.

I agree with that.

Yeah, spokes look cool till you have a flat or have your wheel fly apart from loosening spokes like mine did...My spokes loosened suddenly at 30k miles. We tightend and trued. At 62k I put the bike on a lift before a trip and checked the spokes. 200 miles down the road they loosened quickly. I ended up with a wallowed out hub and a few broken spokes, then a trailer ride home.

Those are Ride Wright's.
I have no idea what the cost would be.
I got mine at dealer cost and that was a bit over $2600.
Front & Rear Wheels
3 Floating Rotors
1 Pulley
Powdercoating was additional.
Sealed rims was additional.
All totalled...it was a little over $2600 smackers.
And that didn't include tires.

I'm sure you can get them in purple.
Purple rims with chrome spokes and pink nipples....sexy sexy sexy!
