One last question before I order Mark V
So I am going to order a Mark V from IRO today. I would like to get some black rims/hubs but don't want to pay the extra money to get them from IRO. I was thinking I could save some money by ordering a set of black cxp22s with a formula hub from bicyclewheels.com and having Tony send me everything but the wheels. Will there be any repercussions from this? Would I be better off just dropping the extra money to get the IRO wheels?

By not getting them it would save me like $170 and a new set is $199 so I could probably only sell them for maybe $180 which would make me $10. Doesn't really seem worth it. And, the black mavics are $155 compared to 260 for the black IROS.

the IRO wheelset is far better than the other set - they're hand-built and have quality bearings. I'd just just open your wallet a little bit more as it will be worth it in the long run.
