Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

This is true, to be honest, how many cheap wheels are crap these days though? Cheap usually just means slightly overbuilt and heavy. If you look at all shimano/fulcrum etc. cheap offerings, they're all relatively bombproof. I guess the main thing is if the build/tension is all over the place or the bearings just disintegrate.

First ever review, beginning of last year:
"For the money these wheels are great. Strong and versatile, they have withstood the punishment I have thrown at them these last 3 weeks. So far, I cannot fault them. The rims are made well, rear hub is almost silent and they roll well over the tarmac.
This weekend looks like it will be the first time I've used them in the dry, so I can safely say they perform well in wet conditions and even when cycling through flooded roads even when 6 inches deep. Also they are still true and that's after hitting various small pot-holes hidden by the water and when clipping stones and large bits of debris in the lanes.
A great choice if requiring a spare set or like me needed a new set for Winter training. As said, strong, versatile, light enough for my training bike and giving great performance. One other point, the Cosine label at the valve hole makes it quick to locate too. Fitted a set of Lifeline Essential road tyres (25c) also without any punctures to date. They have gone through the same conditions as the wheels.
Would be good to have some spares listed though like bearings etc."
