I bought a set of RS-10's in 2008 for $177 shipped to my door.
I've put around 6000 miles on them and they are as true as the day I bought them with no servicing at all. They've never been trued and spokes are all tight.
I don't doubt the problems I've read about these wheels, but my experience has been fine with them, especially given the ridiculously low price.
I weigh around 160-165lbs. Seems like a lot of people who have problems with these wheels are bigger guys.
