Does anyone know anything about these wheels? Are they worth the money??

Excellent wheels and service.
They even managed to retail them at an incredibly low price.
Defiently highly recommended

I'm pretty sure that the rim is just a corima -- but not positive. Corima carbon rims are not the lightest (they're heavier than zipp and lew) and you do need to use cork pads, but the rims are very very stiff and therfore good racing rims. Spinergy hubs are ok, but not fantastic. Those "pbo" spokes are super thick and un-aero. If you are considering the Spinergy carbon wheels, may I also suggest taking a look at Corima's "Aero" wheelset. They cost about the same as the Spinergys, are more aero with bladed spokes, and lighter too I believe since the hubs are lighter. Corima hubs are unbelievable.
