To the OP, why did you buy the used wheels if you didn't like them?
You could have paid the shop to build your current hub with a new rim and new spokes for about the same price you paid for the used wheels. Depending on how much you paid, I've paid $100 for a shop to rebuild my wheel (new rim and spokes)
