Any downside to this custom wheelset?
https://www.bicyclewheelwarehouse.com.../prod_163.html
I'm looking for an all-purpose high quality training wheelset - that will be low maintenance and long lasting.
I'm ~185lbs.
Am i on the right track here? Feedback appreciated.
TIA.

- Maybe also look into more robust rims, something like the DT Swiss 585 or Velocity Aerohead
IMO something like White Industry H3's laced to Velocity Aeroheads 32 spoke crossed on both wheels will be a lot more robust, durable, and a lot cheaper, like half the price.
More importantly, however, is who builds them; proper spoke tension is a pretty important factor which people tend to overlook, since most base their purchases on emotional appeal and price.

Only downside is that they take time to deliver.
or if you want something more durable:
