So far I've only taken off the barcode sticker; I kind of like the stickers but that could change at a whim.

With the 25% extra off they're $110, heck of a price. I didn't realize they had bladed spokes but that's not something I can't live with. The deep "aero" profile is not really much aero at just 30mm if I recall correctly, unless you happen to hit the exact right size and shape tire (and who knows what that is), but I personally like that shape given a choice for a couple of reasons. So I'm tickled pink with them.
