what do you know/think of these wheels?
My friend bought a set and seem nice, I am thinking about one for myself and want to make sure they are decent!
Thanks

I have the Vuelta XRPs on my Kilo TT, I think they are better than the stock Kilo TT wheels, I prefer the low flange look and I'd ridden them on my conversion for a while and trusted them so kept them for the TT. I did switch out to a Dura Ace lockring and cog.
I've been looking for an excuse to buy a new wheelset instead of the Vueltas but I really can't find one.
2 thumbs up from the Scotsman!

yeah, you can buy a fully geared rig for less than what most people spend blinging our their FG.
a rear road hub is not that much more technically superior than a rear track, though, and $160 shipped vs. $200 + shipping is still a bit of a difference

and i dont know how much are open pros with ultegra hubs, like 150-200? eitherway im sure it is fairly simple to get a nice pair of wheels for a road bike for like 150 from performance (their titans) or a similar retailer. They're just more commercialized and therefore the supply is greater, it just annoying anyway.
