    Rim type shape/profile

    I have a mostly stock 77D XS650 My rims look more like the "H" Type. That is stock? Does the H or W type move the spoke locations? Will either lace up to a 77 rear hub and front axel without issue? or do i need to stick with H type rims? thanks for the help.

    I read good things about these. Originally I was looking at CB550's and some GS's but after lots of reading these sounded very good. I care most about handling and stopping. I'm not going to be pushing it real hard. My first real road bike.
