Wheels I went naked on mine, took a sandblaster to them. Purple wasn't gonna cut it.

Tires I've used Kenda K671, and Bridgestone BT45. Both excellent choices the Kendas are inexpensive, excellent wet weather performance, and last a lot of miles perfect for commuting.

Good luck on your second attempt, I'm lucky enough to have the free time needed to do mine, so it only took about month to do the bulk of the work. It's maiden long distance voyage was soon after, 700 miles in a single day.
