If you can get them for a song then do it.
Thanks- Didn't notice any carbon on the hubs, they have a plate riveted over the valve stem hole that i've not seen before, but again i'm pretty new to this stuff. Yep, the way he was talking i'm not sure he'll even take a hundred bucks. The front has never been used, rear very very lightly. I'll be checking out your customs when i start my search for the nice set this winter!

Any idea what the usual lifespan is for wheels of that technology, if kept trued? 10k miles?
