i have been using these on many bikes over the years,but seems odd that i have never seen another set.
they had the graphite deal across the rim when i got them imported.

do they flex much Dan, like the 36 hole ones or are these actually stiff?

Only one set known to exist.  Must be worth at least 5k to the right person.   :D

Hi Dan remember seeing an advert in bmx plus with Fred blood riding a white set on a blue quad .think it was called blood,sweat+z48's.will see if i can find it to see if it says anything about the colours they made.

ACS likely let a few black ones slip through in a limited run. Like I told you on vintage, yours is likely the only set I've seen in 10 years since I got back into it. Possibly the only surviving set? Value will be tough to estimate.
Not sure if ACS keeps old production records, but maybe contact them?
