What do you guys think of these wheels?
They seem to be very very nicely priced for what they are. They say the brand makes OEM stuff for big brands like Mavic and Giant and etc. What do you guys think?

Why? None of the parts on those wheels are hard to get. They use standard spokes, they are Gigantex rims, with a very popular Taiwanese hub Produced by Joy Tech that goes by the name of Karbona's A28's and F28's, Edge Taiwan and countless others. Bearings (including aftermarket ceramic) and parts are readily available. To many people's suprise; Reynolds's Strike wheels use a Joy Hub that is on par with most high end brands.

I've never really looked into carbon wheels, but are they a bit heavy?
