State bicycle co wheelsets?

Hey guys. Looking for a good set of fixie wheels under 200 and came across the state bicycle co 700 wheelsets. Reviews were pretty good but I would like your guys input. So how are those wheels? Any other suggestions under 200?

velomine or yr LBS. You'd be surprised what machine-built wheels you can source via an LBS (got origin8 'trak attak' aka Weinmann 42mm deep laced to formula/origin8 hubs for under 2 bills, in gold anodized, shipped to the shop next day no charge to me).

How are the origin 8 track attacks? I read some great reviews on them and some mediocre reviews. What do you guys think of them?

They're heavy as balls. Big metal balls.

they are heavy as sin. so heavy. remember, I own them, so if anyone would lie about them it'd probably be me.

however I think you can probably hit a curb at 20 mph and probably just roll right on. I have run over a part of a cinderblock in the road and they're still true and round.

would not recommend if you can afford HSons; I couldn't.

I saw the track attacks on velomine for $119 seems like a steal. They're just rebranded Weinnmans? I need tough wheel's to jump off stuff, weight is not a factor. Don't mean to thread jack.
