Ive pretty much decided on getting the American Classic All Mountain wheelset. There are two colour choices on offer, however, and I cant decide which one looks best.

The first is white rims, black and 2 white spokes, red hubs:

The second is black rims, black and 2 red spokes, white hubs with red decals:

This is the bike they will be going on:

Which do you think will look best on the bike?

    neither. get a on one 456 carbon and bin the gt frame... or save some money and get superstar hubs on crest or flow rims, american classic hubs were designed with america in mind, ergo the bearings are shite and last all of 5 seconds in muddy uk winters...

    Black rims, black hubs. Simple.

    Thats interesting-I was of the opinion that, given the current wheels are ~2.2kg, new wheels would make more of a difference than a new frame?

    What's wrong with the frame? Probably nothing. Don't change things you're happy with, it's the LAW.

    I don't know those wheels, but the black ones are a bit undistinguised and cheap looking, I'd go white myself.
