I was also looking at these but like you, dont know much about them. Here is just about the only review I could find on them, and I am not sure it helps too much.

"These come set up with DT Swiss spokes and Formula hubs…annnd they’re 42mm. Formula hubs, as “cheap” as they are, have never let me down. As a whole these have far surpassed my expectations and are still rolling true. Theyre damn light yet still beefy. With how hard i am on my bikes im usually tuning my wheels every few days. I dialed these in after the first ride and havent touched them since! Actually…i did snap a spoke nipple after whipping into a Charlie Brown statue, but thats my fault . Commuting to work and on the bike trial these perform well, they’re smooth rolling and respond well when cranking hard."

And heres the link to the site just in case you want it.
