Is this a lame ass thing to do, or did I just find a pair of budget omniums?

Also found a flawless 70s vintage shimano 333 freewheel on some muscle bike wheel at the coop.
You basically bought a set of S300s. 25 bucks is a decent deal but I wouldn't necessarily call GXP an "upgrade" from square-taper.
