Anyone own or use Blackset Race wheels?
I've been thinking of getting a set of Bicycle Wheel Warehouses "Blackset Race" wheels but unsure of the quality or performance of these wheels.
These: https://www.bicyclewheelwarehouse.com...&productId=208
I weigh 180 lbs and would only use these wheels for timed or century rides, have a good set of training wheels. Anyone have experience with or heard anything about these wheels? They're light but really cheap (1421 grams, $275). Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

Got a pair for Christmas, rode a century on them on the 27th and have been using them for all my rides since then. So far they are still true and I weigh about 185. Only issue was the rim tape, I got 4 flats in that one century due to that crap. The way I see it for 275 you can't go wrong with these thing. No issue's with flexing but I haven't really done any hard sprints on them. Also, they look way cooler than my stock wheelset (and thats really all that matters, screw performance).
