From the pics of the wheels, im pretty sure the brake calipers will show up quite a lot as the spokes are very spaces apart!

We shall see.... aiya.... just checked my bank. My sponsor is not happy with me! ha ha ha!!!

yea 172m is fine. most rims with thin spokes dont work well with the tiny brakes inside.
