A word of warning: it seems that almost all mail order wheelsets are described as "hand built." My experience regarding super low price deals on wheelsets is that if they are actually hand built, they're hand built by someone who either doesn't have time or doesn't know how to properly tension and true wheels (or both). So just be prepared to tension and true the wheels right out of the box. At that price, I can almost guarantee you the wheels will need some work.
In regard to the 2.0 stainless steel spokes in the description, they are almost certainly not brand name spokes. Again, my experience has been that they don't hold up as well as DT's or Wheelsmith's. But maybe you'll have better luck.
The least of your worries in a deal like this are the Shimano 2200 hubs.
