BicycleWheelWarehouse Wheel build (with pics)

Just picked up a set of wheels to complete my new bike build. Very happy with the service from BicycleWheelWarehouse. They shipped the wheels out next day and I had them in way under a week. I took off the cheesy reflective Mavic Stickers. Build is like this...

Rim: Mavic Open Pro 700c. 32 hole black rear, 28 hole black front
Front Hub: Shimano Ultegra 6500 series, 28 holes, silver with skewer
Rear Hub: Shimano Ultegra 6600 series, 8/9/10 speed compatible, 32 holes, silver with skewer
Spokes: DT Swiss double butted Competition, 2.0/1.8/2.0, black
Lacing: 3 cross rear drive and non drive side. Radial Front.
Nipples: DT Swiss alloy nipples
Set = 1795g (I didn't actually weigh them but this is what they claim)

I put on velox rim tape, and michelin krylion tires. I know the valve stems are long but I had a bunch of tubes with 60mm valve stems so I just used them anyway.

Here are some pics...

Overall they seem like a great durable wheelset for cheap. I definately recomend them to anyone looking for a good quality wheel. They also offer a bunch of other configurations for what you need.
