Im going to replace the crappy standard wheels on my Caad 8 and ive decided on Mavic Aksiums, Merlin have them for £130 in black which seems pretty good but unfortunately i saw them in Silver on a Boardman in Halfords and now i really want a set in silver, can i heck find any though.
Anybody know where i might get them in Silver? I'd buy good used ones if i could find a set
Cheers

Funnily enough I bought a Boardman a couple of weeks back and that came with black Aksiums rather than the silver on the display model, I wonder if they've stopped making the silver ones?0

I think they must have mate which is a shame as they look ace. I think i'll have to settle on the black ones in that case.
On a side note my bike is white/black/green but every flippin wheelset seems to have red on which wouldnt be a good look0 -
Remove the decals0

CRC have some 2009 ones, in silver, slight cosmetic damage, otherwise as new:

I wouldn't be put off by buying these but would query the extent of the damage, you can always send them back if they're a mess.“Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.”0 -

Mt girlfriend was moaning about the same thing as her bike is white, grey and pale blue! Ended up with monatone Shimano R501s, not too bad colour matching wise and they seem to roll nice for budget price (also have a very quite free wheel mechanism which I'm a little jealous of
). 0 -

and search ebay for some decals in a matching colour, there are people who will print them to order to your own spec.
