They are not bad for the money a friend had a set and have been fine for a few years now. But if you don't need a set now save and get a better wheelset later, good wheels can make a big diffrence in performance if you get the correct set for your riding style.

These are supposed to be machine built, so it would probably be smart to have someone who knows what they're doing check the wheel over if you do go for it.

edit: I should probably note that I weigh over 200 lbs. and ride on some really rough roads.

Nothing wrong with them. I've had a pair for close to two years now. However, I wouldn't spend money on them unless I really needed a pair of wheels (which was the case for me)

IMO, best budget wheelset available. I got a pair three years ago and they've been on my road bike, my commuter, and my single speed. Jumped curbs with them all the time going to work, never had to true them once. Oh except for one time where a spoke broke
