Are they tubulars or clinchers? I've ridden track rims and high-flange Campy hubs on the NYC streets for about 12 years now, never had even a wheel wobble. And I've gone down flights of stairs with them. But my comments are only anecdotal, no broader experience, and don't have experience with the Wolber rims.
