Recommend me some rims for these ...

Re:

If you'd countenance a brand new rim then the H Plus Son TB14 are a good match for period rims.
My Merckx has hard-anodised grey version on Ultegra 6500 hubs. All black are also available as well as highly polished silver.
Heavy, though. Mine weighed in at 505grams each.

TB14s are the cycling gods gift to retrobikers - top quality, double eyelets, machined braking surface, 3 finishes, would look good on a retromodern for sure - but just a wee bit lardy and a bit dear.

Have you used these?

The only thing that makes these of interest is if the annosising Is more durable than the 80s rims.

I've only used the polished version, can't comment on the anodising but they seem to be selling a lot of rims for modern builds and they're getting a good reputation

Nice pair of Open 4 CD rims would get my vote if you wanted clinchers

And for tubs some GP4 rims would be the perfect choice

Go for tubs, okay i'm biased as I have a set of GL 330's looking for a good home..
