    That's the old weave finish. The newer ones are matt UD, much nicer IMO.

    Pics of mine here.

    I was told they were pre-production, so the finish may be slightly different on more recent ones.

    Hi Savedbythebell, other than the weight and materials of construction, is there any other difference between the C4.0 & S4.0. Do you still achieve the increased speed with the S4.0 or would the C4.0 be notably better?

    Faster wheels tend to have deep rims and a low spoke count, but the aero advantages of deep v-section rims with 23mm tyres are pretty marginal.

    Well, I guess this is what you call a decision.

    Or a result.
