Newer as in c4 or c5? I believe with either you need spacers or adapters, and I think adapters are recommended. Several members have C4 rims, I dunno if anyone in our midst has done the c5 thing.

There are only about a million types of rims that have that deep dish look to them. WHat style are you looking for? Most newer rims are not very deep looking (like C4 or C5 wheels). Check out the post on BB Wheels":

There are some sweet wheels in there.
