So I decided on the DT Swiss 5.1's with Hope Pro II hubs. Now I need to pick a color. I was thinking of going black rim(only color available I believe), silver nipples, black spokes, silver hub. My ML is all grey, black, & silver. What do you think?

I ordered the same exact set of hubs, spokes, nipples and rims today...color combo and all.

Obviously I think that is a fine choice...

I like un painted stainless spokes best. cheaper too. and they are shiny. it you buy a box of DT spokes it comes with 12mm nipples.....

all the OE wheel sets use black spokes these days, so I associate the black spokes with OE wheels.

I think I made up my mind

I think I am going gunmetal hub, stainless spokes, black nipples, black rims, with some sweet new black FSA skewers I just bought. I can picture it in my mind

Looks to be an excellent wheelset.....red hubs, red nips, black spokes, red skewers.

Looking forward to my set, especially when mounted to the black ano frame!
On my hardtail, I got red hope hub, black spokes, gold nipples and black rims (Stan Arch). Looks sweet.
