Any opinions on these wheels? Not sure which to get? Just missed out on a freecoaster set of wheels :'(

Thanks :daumenhoch:

either of the second or third options on your list will be superb wheels mate, I'd go for the middle ones myself but both have fully sealed hubs so all superb value at that price!  :daumenhoch:

I've got a set of the black hubs/polished rims from your second link, they rule! Real good spec for that money  :daumenhoch:

Think I will go with the middle ones,would brakes work better or same on the polished ones? Not sure about going for LHD I do grids on right pegs but not that often

Yes, the polished rims work out best if you run brakes. You'll need some slim pads as the sidewalls aren't very tall, lhd is a good idea if you grind/stall etc on the right, but nowadays with micro gearing it's not so much of a problem anyway.

Think I will just go RHD as I haven't done any damage yet doing them! And can't be bothered changing cranks etc
