    If they are the newer type with no spoke holes inside the inner rim, then no, you don`t need any. I don`t use any on mine anyway.

    Velox Cloth Rim Tape is probably the best, and not anymore expensive than any other.
    It is thick, and being cloth will not trap the tube.

    You can buy from LBS, or places like CRC or Wiggle.
