It will be much cheaper to buy a set of new better wheels than to carefully disassemble your current wheels & pay for bead blasting & powder coating the rims + a wheel builder to reassemble them:

Sell your old wheels on ebay for £40.

looking at the spec of the bike, i would go for those wheels from merlin as its a complete wheel upgrade and the hubs are far better than those currently on your bike.

Think those are the wrong wheels guys, they look 26" and OP's bike is 700c according to google. But I agree, far too much hassle & expense to strip the rims out for painting - buy a new set.

Sorry my bad, could be either

"The bike is offered in 700c or 26 inch wheel options"

if its 700c compatible, go for some fulcrum 7s, on offer at merlin for £115, ok its quite expensive but it will go like stink with those on it....

Doh! Think you're right - in which case some R500s (RS10s maybe a little lightweight for typical hybrid/cumuting use) from Merlin or Ribble or handbuilt Tiagra/Mavic wheels from Ribble for not much more.
