Interesting-----
My deepv/velocity wheelset that i ordered from bens cycles came from the Brown Santa man today---like you, my wheelset was packaged less than ideally, just a bunch of paper on the sides---the box had a big puncture whole in it and looked beat up.
My rims look ok, although the paint is uneven between the braking surface and the rest of the wheel at one point.
More importanly the fixed side of my rear hub also has a gouge in the outermost lockring thread---i dont know if this will be a problem, as i do not have a spare lcokring to thread on---i was going to order today.
also, anyone know why forumula doesnt print their brand names on black hubs?
