I just cleared 280lbs. this past weekend (down from 300) and was looking at some nice wheels in the $250-$300 range. I had reached out to PSIMET and he put together a really nice package for me that was closer to $400. I tried several online wheel builders and they were all competitive in the $370-$415 price range for a rim that satisfied my needs (and weight).

At $275.00 (free shipping and no tax) this put $100+ in my pocket for tubes and tires. Ironically I purchased these last night and saw your post this morning. Yeah, they're definitely pretty burly on weight but considering my weight, a five pound wheelset is not suddenly going to make me any slower or struggle anymore up the next rolling hill.

I'll be sure to update this post once I receive them, get them mounted and ridden.
