ok.
not perfect but dam good.
needed new wheelset as I toasted the previous set. I'm heavy cheap and non racer so got good set on sale sub 1600 grams. alloy from bicycle warehouse got new tires and found the ride very smooth forgiving much improved from other very stiff set.
1600gr maynot be uber light but for $200.im in love.
got new wheelset, brake pads, cassette, tires....feeling good..😁

Is everyone else seeing the Bicycle Wheel Warehouse ads at the bottom of every thread on this site, or is that tailored to the user?
I was browsing the store but didn’t want to purchase as I couldn’t find any reviews or threads about them.

Non omnino gravis
Best as I can tell the OP bought the BWW Superlight, 1560g, $250 ($300 w/ 11-speed freehub)
There's a coupon for 15% off of the price, which brings them to $212.50. Not tubeless ready, and 13.9mm inner, which is bonkers by today's "everything must be wider" standards.
Those hoops must have been hiding in the back of a warehouse since the 80s.

CL7840 Pure SuperLight / 32Frt - 32Rear Pure Super Light (black ano) 23x19.2x13.5 Pure X70/R200 (black ano) DT Comp 2.0/1.8 Silver / Alloy Silver 1542g
There are these too, listed for $208.45 and final priced at $187.61 with the discount applied.
That is a helluva narrow rim, but also a helluva price for butted spokes and under 1550g.
