Know anything about Boyd wheels??

I've been looking at Boyd and Williams, both seem to have good reps for customer service, and I read somewhere that they use the same supplier for the carbon wheels, and that they're the same shape. 

What I haven't been able to find is what the wheel profile is, which I'm assuming is the older, more classic, tapered profile.  This would make them less stable in cross winds compared with the newer toroidal, "fatter" profile shapes.

But I think $2000.00 saved is worth it.

So the next difference is Flo, an unproven product but newer rim profile, and promising aerodynamics, vs the established Boyd/Williams wheels.  Flo has the aluminum rim with non-structural fairing, which means they have the metal braking surface, so swapping in alloy wheels won't be an issue, as far as brake pads go.  Full carbon wheel manufacturers generally state not to swap in metal wheels without changing brake pads as well, since the pads will have metal particles that will damage the carbon wheel brake surface.

I've been leaning towards Boyd.  Seems to be a toss up between them and Williams, and since I'm on the east coast as well, just figured them being closer would be better if I had to send a wheel back.

that is the exact combo i am thinking about! are you a big guy? Im 200~ offseason 190 race season, sllightly concerned about durability of carbon over time.

I would not worry if i were you. i'm 215 now and about 5-7lbs less for races. I spoke with a service rep at williams. he said my weight would not be a problem. reviews i have read never had any probalby. they have a year warranty.  better to spend a 1000 bucks the wheels be bad than 3000 and the wheels be bad.
