Anyone have any experience with this vendor? The super cheap price raises my red flag for scammer. Though they could just have good prices.

****. I just ordered the same wheels from Gnashbar on Sunday! (on sale for $150)
Sweet deal though. I'll second the question of if they are built on the same fixed/fixed hubset the Nashbar wheels are.

also, i'm considering buying a set as a backup wheelset - how do these wheels stand up to the streets, and how durable is the threaded area? lots of problems with stripping?

once you add in shipping it's pretty much the same cost as getting the same wheels at a LBS (at least in NYC). It's the exact same set I've used. Pretty durable. Had to do a little retensioning to the rear last night, and the factory locknuts backed off by themselves. Torque them up when you first get them.
BTW. I always wondered how much these things weighed. Good Lawd they are heavy. I'm just used to sub 1600 gram wheelsets I guess.

Show me a shop where I can get a set of formula/cpx22 track wheels for ~$150.
