List price is $250. Nashbar has fairly frequent 20% off / free shipping sales. In spite of free shipping, there's a $15 upcharge for oversize.

I took some photos of the Corsa HD wheels and will upload soon. They are massively stout. In spite of this, the front weighs about the same as my Mavic/Nuovo Record wheel which was handy for comparison. Fancy touring clincher from 1976 weighs about the same as overbuilt cheap fat-guy wheel from 2015, there's a data point. They are also very black, with a little bling from the decals, brake tracks, nipples, and cone nuts.
