$50-$80
cause Jim just did a couple for me.
Not to be a douche, but why spend the time lacing it if you're just going to drive to the shop to have them true and tension? I mean, drop off all the parts, walk away, come back, boom, Jim's built you some wheels.Why not lace it yourself? Couple YouTube vids should get you through it. Then take it to a shop for truing/tensioning as I would assume you don’t have those tools.
If you tell them you just built them but don't know how to true, I think they charge double.Then take it to a shop for truing/tensioning as I would assume you don’t have those tools.

This.
Alloy wheels are usually $50 and carbon is up to $80.
I've been building my own wheels, and this whole time I could drop them off and have them professionally done for $50 each???

If a customer wanted to lace it themselves I was fine with and encouraged that. I was a one man show for a while so it saved me time. I would tell them I’d knock a few bucks off for that but if they did it wrong and I had to redo it I’d charge extra and let them decide. It was cool to see people proud that they’d done something themselves that they thought was voodoo before.If you tell them you just built them but don't know how to true, I think they charge double.
