Vuelta Corsa Superlite Wheelset
Anyone know anything about these wheels. On sale for $250 at Nashbar. Regular price 550. Sounds like a good deal (ad says quantities limited).

$250 for a 1442g wheelset is super cheap. For that price it can't hurt to pull the trigger.
I found a review and looks pretty good.

Hey, that's a pretty good deal. I'd be concerned about stiffness though, I remember looking at some graph and a set of Vuelta wheels were at the lower end.

Not to hijack the thread, if those are good what about the (seemingly?) related Vuelta Pro SL wheels?

Called Nasbar today. this deal is for the 2009s and does not include skewers. Still a good deal, but not as good as looked at first blush.

The Team V is handbuilt using Vuelta's 27mm medium V 6066 aluminum welded rims with CNC-machined sidewalls. 20 front radial laced and 24 rear 2 cross triple butted aero spokes with alloy nipples make the Team V an excellent choice for the rider looking for speed. Vuelta's new Team V Red straight pull design hubs with Japanese made EZO sealed cartridge bearings complete the build with style. Choose between Shimano or Campagnolo freehub bodies. 700c. Wt.: 1477g. $479

That is a good deal. Get them...at the very least you have a spare set.
