What Easton Wheels Are These?
 
I picked up these Easton wheels. 700c. No labels on the rims. Has Easton rim strips. Does anyone know what model Easton wheels these are? Thank you.

Just bumping it up to give you a better shot at answer.

Have you gone to the Easton site and looked at pictures?

Either way, they look like nice wheels. If you got them at a good price, why not just toss them on your bike?

Thank you FB. You are always so nice. I bought them on a whim for $50. Not sure if they are any better than the Bontrager Race Lites I already have. Just curious what I exactly bought. Thank you.

You didn't buy them, you stole them. I don't get worked up about comparisons based on small arcane differences. If the weight is reasonable (and I'm sure it is) the rim width suits your needs, and the freehub is suited to your drive train these are a really nice set of wheels for you. Check the condition and true, if necessary then decide whether these will be your A set, saved for back up, or an excuse to build a B bike.

Sure thing. Thank you.

Maybe Easton EA50 wheels? I'm not the big expert on these but I don't believe they made any other models with red hubs with traditional/J Bend spoke drilling. Released maybe around 2011. Easton EA50 Aero wheelsets clincher user reviews : 3.4 out of 5 - 4 reviews - roadbikereview.com

I don't recall seeing Easton wheels with the groove in the brake track, at least not on their older wheels. The red hubs with traditional spoke holes also don't align with my experience with their wheels, so not sure. Good luck.

Yeah, they're the EA50s.
What used to be called Vistas.

If the Racelites are the paired spoke Rolf clone style, I like the Eastons better personally.
