I've managed to sell a few things so have my 'budget' now.
I've been surfing eBay and other places for suitable parts, I keep coming back to these wheels:

Aside from continuing my searching as I'm in no rush at the moment, are these wheels good value or could I do better for the £? The other wheels I've mentioned are very narrow rims so not what I'm after.
I will need tyres, what do folk think are decent but affordable wider tyres?
Still on the fence on pulling the trigger on some boos rev Debonairs at 140mm travel, but they can be reduced to 130mm if needs be. I'm on the fence as I've read mixed reviews on the RC damper, not that I'm a good enough rider to notice such things, but it's more reviews on how robust it is and also even whether it works well. Anyone got any experience or thoughts on this fork?
I do like the z2s, and have my eye on some fox, though as much as I like fox, I've always found them higher maintenance than other forks.
Speaking of other forks, what are people's views on x-fusion and DVO! Currently DVO seem out of my budget, but a few more sales may change that as I was planning my budget around using money I don't really have rather than funds accumulated, so could stretch it a bit.
