Wheels similar to Vento, Shamal or Cosmic

[ArabStrap1]

HI guys, I am looking for a '90 wheelset similar to the ones in the subject but bit cheaper. Features required: deep polished aluminium rims and possibly bladed spokes - do you know any old model that would tick the requirements?

Possibly look into Mavic CXP's

Rigida DP18

Gipiemme Tecnos maybe?

But the freehubs are impossible to get spares for.

Mavic CXP 30s, Campagnolo Atlantas and a number of rims tick those boxes - finding some in good condition is getting harder and therefore prices reflect that - luckily I got mine before the prices skyrocketed. 8 speed Shamals can still be picked up for reasonable money.

Nice ones - thanks to everyone! Love those Gipiemme - I'm scanning the net to see what comes up. today I've seen a pair of good condition campag Vento going fro £120 on the bay so they are not out of my reach as I thought.

Wit the rigid DP18 you can get rigid wheel with 18 spokes front, 28 rear.
18 spokes from a 36h front hub.
