Vuelta Corsa HD Road Wheelset

I've got two sets (on different bicycles) and haven't had a problem with them. Neither pair needed to be trued or have the hubs adjusted, I simply put them on my bicycles right out of the box. They're a little heavier than most other wheels, but if you're 350lbs what does an extra pound matter? And they are inexpensive. Even if you want to get lighter wheels in the future, you could use these for daily rides so the newer, lighter wheels don't get screwed up. Also bought a pair of Vuelta's single speed wheels for a SS project, and they're holding up great, too.
With the research I've done since posting I had already added these to the cart. It was wishful thinking because even at 465 I never had wheel problems on my MTB. Better safe that sorry though! I used to build my own wheels in my BMX days so it's time to refresh my memory on maintaining them. Thanks for the input!
