Carbon wheel quality?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm leaning really hard toward these wheels but I'm just a little anxious given how little information I can find on them. Apparently, there is an intrepidcycling.com website, but it just takes me to a Facebook page with not a lot of information. So I'm a little worried about any support down the road, but really my biggest concern is actually getting a box of wheels when I place an order. The Kure Cycling website says the wheels I want are in stock, but for all I know this outfit only made a few sets before going under and this is some new old stock that just hasn't sold yet.

I'd say don't rush into things and make an impulse buy. It's not like you need them for a race in a couple weeks, right? If the've been around a while, you should be able to find info on them. If not, they may be brand new, product not extensively tested or track record with consumers, etc. Carbon layup is especially quality critical. Plus the concerns you have. Take a breath, start digging. Oh, you could also contact the company and ask for the names of racing teams that are using their wheels. I would not expect them to give out personal info, but I think the name of a racing team, that you would then try to find contact info yourself, may be acceptable.
