Pass.
On the heavier side okay, but I'm a clyde and their builds are rated up to 240lbs so I'm okay with a bit of extra weight. Not sure about the tolerances as I haven't seen other rim company's published numbers. That said, there's been plenty of posts about wheels coming in over published weights so perhaps not too unusual? Price wise, at Prowheelbuilder.com, a price of $80 puts them higher than Kinlin's and H+Son's, but below Pacenti and HED's.
