Mystery vintage mag wheels appraisal!
Hey guys I'm looking to sell these wheels I was gifted a long time ago. Know nothing about them whatsoever. No manufacturer logo or anything. Any info as to their worth or anything in General would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone!

I really know little to nothing about these, but a couple of questions I would have if I were a buyer:
clincher or tubular?
Freewheel or free hub?
are they true
Material of construction?
Are the bearing smooth and are they serviceable.
Without knowing any of this, I'd probably pay $30 for the set, not even sure about that though.

Looks like a repainted spinergy

Yes, those are early spinergy rev-x wheels that have been painted.
dont ride or sell them.
im ok with riding a clean late rev-x wheels but the early ones have some weaknesses and paint can hide carbon damage.

"Snapergy" is pretty good, I always preferred "Splintergy" though since that was the experience of several of my "early-adopter" friends.
Impressed me enough to never buy the d--n things.
