I had them since last summer. They had a recall to replace the nipple plugs with rim tapes, and other than that, they have been "bombproof" on my regular ride logging about 4000 miles so far. I never have to worry about them and they just work, and that's pretty much all I can say about them. On my scale, they are a shade under 1400 grams without the skewers (the marking on the rim says 1380 as their weight). I have yet to find any issues with them. A bit of background, I don't race. and mostly use them for my daily commute (10 miles each way) and longer weekend rides. My weigh is about 160-165lbs depending on time of day
I paid less than $800 for them from Wiggle when they had them on sale last year.
