Was thinking of Chinese carbon
Prime are Chinese carbon, the price premium just buys you whatever QA and after-sales support the distributor gives you. £595 is about what you'd end up paying a reputable Chinese company anyway, after allowing for shipping and taxes.

Yeah, aware that they're just rebranded farsports (or whatever). CRC after sales might be easier to navigate than farsports, and any warranty return would be easier. Only thought with direct from manufacturer was the ability to spec wheels myself (though prime are basically what I'd spec), and lack of ugly decals.

Does anyone have any experience of the CRC/Wiggle Prime wheels? I can't really afford them but 12 month paypal interest free credit is tempting, + BC discount makes them £595.

My major concern is whether it's possible to delogo them (i.e. are they stickers) and whether that would void the warranty. Any other alternatives out there? Was thinking of Chinese carbon but 2 year warranty and spreading the cost is appealing.
