Any Velocity rim can be had in silver, they are simply not stocked in silver, you can also get polished or many custom colors. You can also get them in any drilling. It is only necessary to wait for the next production run. I have sets of polished silver 650B Cliffhangers in 40 spoke on my Bombadil and 48 spoke on my "Keven's" Bike (cargo bike). You just need to contact Velocity directly or have your wheelbuilder do it. I generally build my own, but also have had Peter White and Hands on Wheels build them. Their wheels are better than mine, but I am getting better.
I have had a set VO touring hubs - 9 speed shimano, for several year and have had no problems.
