Building a custom wheel

Hello,

I was wondering about building custom wheels and I have no experience with that subject. Is it better or not than buying factory ones?

I've been looking at ebay and there are some carbon rims. Are those 'non-brand' carbon rims reliable? I know there's some crap carbon rims around, how do I know if it's a good one?

I was thinking about getting one pair of full carbon tubular (3k, 320g, 20h front and 24h rear, 38mm deep), a 240s dt swiss front and rear hub and also dt swiss spokes.

Would that make a good set? Fast, reliable, stiff, strong?

The DT Swiss calculator told me this configuration would weight 1164g.

Kind regards.
