When it comes to rim brake wheels, new options are becoming increasingly rare. That’s why we were beyond excited to build this custom wheelset featuring the newly released Astral Solstice Stealth Limited Edition rims. These rims are coated in a durable grey Cerakote finish, a color choice that is both unique and incredibly versatile. Grey rims aren’t something you see every day, but after seeing these in person, we can’t help but wonder why—they offer a sleek, refined aesthetic that pairs beautifully with components in a variety of colors.

The Perfect Custom Wheel Build

For this build, we laced the Astral Solstice Stealth rims with a set of White Industries T11 hubs (Front and Rear)—a combination that delivers both cutting-edge performance and timeless style. The T11 hubs are renowned for their precision engineering, smooth engagement, and long-lasting durability, making them a perfect match for the lightweight and aerodynamic Solstice rims. Together, they create a custom wheelset that not only enhances performance but also elevates the overall look of any road bike.

 

Performance Meets Style

This custom wheel build isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s built to perform. Weighing in at 1600g, this wheelset strikes an excellent balance between lightweight efficiency and long-term durability, making it a top-tier upgrade for any serious road cyclist.
