Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Vuelta XRP wheels from Bike Island

Does anyone have the Vuelta XRP wheels from Bike Island? https://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_S...ls&ProdID=1539
Aside from the, um, bold graphics, they seem pretty sweet, but I sure would like some real world experiences before I pull the trigger.

Your Tiagra equipped bike of many years ago came with 50mm carbon wheels? And 2000g is a hair on the high side, but not too far off for a 50mm CF wheelset.

I just got some Vuelta Corsa Pro wheels as upgrades to Alexrim DA22 wheels and I'm really happy with them so far. Of course that has almost zero to do with your question other than the brand.
