Well, they definitely aren't the "Deep Vs" they claim to be, at least not the real thing. That said, they . . .
2900 grams!?!?
Wow. For a manufacturer to claim a wheelset weight of over six pounds is, I mean, my 29er mountain bike wheels weigh less than that. While I guess it could be that they are including the cog and tires and such, I get a bad feeling they aren't.
What are you trying to do with these wheel? Are they replacing another set, or are they for a new build, or what?

I have these, they don't really seem that heavy to me. They do come with the tires/tubes/cog so maybe that's why the weight is high. The cog/lockring sucks but everything else is pretty solid. Only issue is that I had to take off the tires and shake out metal shavings that got inside the rim when they machined it.
