Mavic Helium Wheels again

So I bought the Helium wheels. These things sing! Literally. They make a cool, sort of whistling noise at speed. I love these wheels. So how come they stopped making them? Of course, the dilemma is - they seem to be the equal of my old Hed front and Renn 575. Really. I also like the red rims and hubs.

Just one thing - I ca’t close the brake levers down, they rub when I do. Could they be that much wder than other rims?

I love mine, and I know others who do also. I don’t know why they stopped, so I buy mine used on ebay. They are one of the most indestructable wheels ever made. I’m not sure if they are wider, but I also can’t close my brakes so I assume they are.
