Why why why?

There's a geezer on eBay that does 'fixed' wheels that are painted to look like 'wooden' rims.
They do actually look convincing enough.

there's no point reinventing the wheel
my uncle used to race on bikes with cane rims in Ireland in the 1950s

They look nice but I'll stick to my more modern wheels for use on the bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If we let him have the wheels, he will only want the hobby horse to go with them!

Friend of mine mysteriously received a tie made of wood one valentines. Said to the only (or most likely) donor 'but you wouldn't give me anything like that.' 'Wooden tie?' she responded

There were quite a few wooden rims to be seen at the bike show in Earls Court last week.

Wooden want to put those on my bike.

I want a pair too. Can you get them in the UK?

I'm inclined to send a pair of hubs to Wheel Fanatyk and have them build them even though the rims come from Italia. I'm building a www.ratrodbikes.com using an old Armstrong frame, a Vintage Bendix two speed kick-back hub and a 30s front drum and was considering the 26" cruiser rims but the blog has convinced me that tubs are the way to go. I couldn't bring myself to fit a rim brake!

I had a pair of Ghissallo rims on a fixed wheel bike. My only regret was selling them when I decided I didn't use them enough. They were georgeous to ride on with good tubs, like floating on air.
