Sorry to reply to myself and bump an older thread, but I have to add that the wheels from Performance are garbage. I got these in and they were out of true within 30 miles of riding on smooth roads. The notion that these were ever adjusted by a human hand is ridiculous.
I am returning them for a refund and ordering from a place that hand builds. Unfortunately I found this thread with deals on hand built sets right after the purchase from Performance.
I figured I could get a couple thousand miles out of them and then pay for a decent truing job and still come out ahead. Simply not the case.
