Well Antti, I am not a fan of the red time attacks and if you are going to go silver you are probably better off with the other rims. May need further consultation with Flat Eric

I'd love Radenergies! But I think they're only available in 20". I might be wrong though...
And they really cost some money.

But R10s are really beautiful wheels.

I voted for your current wheels, as they are GORGEOUS!! 
I also voted that way as the new wheels aren't sufficiently different to justify the purchase! 
BTW, don't mess with "Time Attack" variations, your look is classic and sick!!

I'm no help... I like em both although your current wheels seem to be whats popular these days for non lip wheels (all black)
I like the red stripe but not sure if I'd do it.
The Schmidts look more luxury to me (not race). Any wheel that doesn't show the lug bolts is luxury to me.
