Ah ok, spoke to DCR and he kept going on about rims being welded so I assumed it was something important!
I'd be interested to know what the quality of the stuff Superstar are rebranding is like. Users on forums seem to equal in amounts of "snapped spokes galore" to "bargain light, well running wheelset".
The fact that all the cheap wheelsets use lasers in 24/20 configurations puts me off though (should it, at 73kg?)

Any good for £199 (with voucher)? http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/dt-swiss-pave28-wheelset.htm
I know Racing Quattros seem to be the best wheels around that price point, but they don't appeal - I'd much rather something 'classic' looking.
How do Superstar stack up generally? Presumably the rims are just Kinlin or something.
Edit: Pave 28 get a good review in cyclingweekly, but rims are sleeved not welded... is this a major issue?
Edit: NVM. Everyone else seems to say they're shit. Custom builds using better spokes makes the price the same as DCR et al.
