Oh yeah, that's just what I want on my bike for a 60 mph descent on a 15 lb racing bicycle in the Dolomites, a nice set of 950 gram Mavic R-Sys CF spoke wheels.
After I'm dead, my racing bike will be even lighter without a rider on it.

lolz now that's funny.
_you_ don't true them.
instead, _you_ take them to your LBS, who ships them off to France, and then _you_ wait 6-8 weeks.
then when they arrive back, _you_ pay the bill which amounts to more than the price of nice set of wheels.

i am comparing them to other wheelsets. Nothing to do with "the engine". The wheels are a horrible design in more ways then one.

-will probably explode
-has so much drag that it negates any weight benefit
-can't true easily, and must be sent away to be trued while you wait for 8 years
but they look nice! lol

They don't need to be trued, because you can't true something like this:
