I've got Excell rims on my Scram, which I bought from Buchanans Spokes & Rims (for around $600 USD, if I remember right). They're a lot lighter & stronger than the originals, & I don't expect to flat-spot them, like I did the others.
I had my dealer lace them to my hubs (for $150 AUD), & the only problems I had, was the spokes had to be retensioned a few times, due to the holes being hand drilled & the spokes taking a little time to bed in properly.
But now they are bedded in, I'm very pleased with them. & yes, the bike does feel a lot more "flickable" (& it was no pig beforehand)
