Anyone ever do this. Seams pretty sweet...

Little out of my price range now (poor college student) but since there really are so few TT's renting seams a bit smarter then dropping 3 grand on wheels.

Renting kit seems a lot more common in the Tri community - there's a company o'er here that I see at almost any triathlon, and many duathlons, of any note. They mostly rent bikes, but I think you can rent wheels form them too - though I think they're all Daklia stuff.

It's a nifty idea though - you could also use it as a try-before-you-buy scheme (which some bike shops run - Zipp has a programme it runs through many shops for that).

Just know how to recognise a well-glued tubular.
