Your wheels look nice, but there are more differences than the stickers.

Many popular wheelsets use Kinlin rims, so those are the same (but some use other rims which seem to be more prone to cracking around the spoke holes). One of the main differences is with the hubs. You will not see White Industries hubs on premade or semi-custom wheelsets since they are simply too expensive to put on those sets. In general you will see Taiwanese hubs that can be purchased for retail for $100 on those sets which do not compare to the quality of White Industries.
