QBP Dimension/Velocity wheelset quality?

I recognize the virtues of the individual components: Dimension hubs are Nashbar hubs are good, reliable hubs; Velocity Aero rims look nice and are bombproof; DT Swiss 2.0mm spokes are beefy.

However, I was wondering if those of you who have purchased the Dimension/Velocity Aero wheelset from QBP (as sold on aebike.com for $160) can attest to the build quality of the wheels.

I assume they are machine built, but do they require much tensioning and/or truing right out of the box? How long have you had them, and how have they been holding up? Any upgrades (bearings, track nuts, etc.) you would recommend?

Thanks.
