Rim type for IRO house wheelset
I bought one of the IRO wheelsets a couple of months ago when he was having the 25% off sale. I didn't go for the deep-Vs... just the house wheelset.
Anyway, the quality is excellent... I'm glad I went for this wheelset over the obligatory Deep-Vs. It just bugs me that I have no idea who manufactured the rims. Does anybody have any idea?

Translates roughly as "Together we will increase production of the people's glorious wheelset"

They're definitely not aeroheads. The braking surfaces are machined, the profile seems a bit higher, and they're highly polished. Honestly, they look a ton better than aeroheads do.
I haven't heard of Kinlin. Is that an overseas OEM?
