The wheels came today, 2 days early!

When I bought them they rang up at $370 on Wiggle, because I was having trouble getting a $10 new customer code to work. CS ended up refunding me $20 instead of $10, so these were a mere $350 to my door, which is awesome.

Impressions:

1) They are gorgeous and my RS010s on my bike look positively gross in comparison.

2) My reservations about the G3 lacing evaporated immediately, it looks awesome in person

3) Very light, very well built

4) Held the rear wheel in one hand and turned the freehub counterclockwise as if I was pedaling backwards and was surprised it was silent? Wasn't expecting that, maybe coasting instead of pedaling backwards will be loud.

5) Honestly can't tell if the splined part of the freehub is plastic or aluminum, really hard to tell if it's gray plastic or painted gray aluminum. Campy states alloy hubs but that's all they say, which presumably is the meat between the spokes and not the splined cassette holder.

Really thrilled with my purchase, especially at that low of a price...just need GP 5000s now.
