When I bought my wife a new 5200 Trek with Bontrager Race Lite wheels the first thing I did when I got the bike home was to check the wheels with my tension meter and truing stand. The spoke tension was way low and very uneven, brand new out of the box. By the time I got through tensioning, truing, dishing, and stress relieving the wheels it would have been easier to have just built new wheels. And my wheels would have been lighter.
