I'm looking to replace the stock Alex R500 wheelset on my bike and came across these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Track-Fixie-Freewheel-Flip-Flop-Wheelset-Single-Speed_W0QQitemZ400102435278QQcategoryZ58099QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m8QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DMW%26i ts%3DC%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7698827645776600272#ht_5880wt_1141

Has anybody ever even heard of them/have any experience with these? I'm trying to do this on the cheap, so a Craigslist find might always be an option as well.

Thanks!

shipping costs to where i live is 130+. plus, they seem to be a downgrade from your r500's - whats wrong with them that makes you want to upgrade?
