Question about IRO wheels

I just purchased a bike mark v from iro and was wondering how their line of wheels handle, my friend has an iro but it came with velocity wheels and I was just curious how sturdy and reliable the iro wheels are. Thanks in advance.

The components of IRO wheels can make a very strong durable wheel. However, it all depends on the quality of the build. If your spokes are not tensioned and properly stress relieved it doesn't matter how strong the individual components are...the wheel will not stand. If the wheel looses its true or the spokes feel undertensioned, it would be worth it to bring the wheels into the LBS to check the build quality. If the spoke tension is inadequate they can adjust it, resulting in a wheelset that should stay true for years.
