Planet X Wheels?
I have heard a good report about Planet X frames, but what about the wheels?

Are they good price/quality value?

These are fairing wheels so they are going to be heavier. However that said, the weight on the planet X's are comparable to other fairing wheels.
Fairing = Aluminum rim that is bonded to a carbon fairing.

I got planetx tubulars on my planetx TT bike I bought used. They seemed pretty good for the short amount of time I had them. They are just a branded wheel coming out of china, they are all about the same. Gonna get decent quality stuff.

Too many factors go into a wheel for one to really answer that IMO. Hub weight, rim weight, what your needs are...etc
I would say generally speaking though the average weight of a 50mm clincher comes in around 1550g give or take 150g.

That would be for full carbon clinchers. These are Aluminum / carbon fairing wheels.

Yea, Mavic Cosmic Carbone SL are roughly the same weight(~1750) and people rate those pretty highly for the aero benefits. My full carbon chinese clinchers 50mm were rated at 1500. There's some that are even lighter than that, but I wouldn't trust such a lightweight unbranded wheel.

Please, let me know if you want to get rid of them. I might be interested

Planet X 50/50mm tubulars are 1421g. Not bad I think
