I say budget cuz when I was trying to find somewhere other than SJS that sold them the only place I could find was BikeWorksNYC who offer them as a cheapo rim for a budget HHSB wheelbuild (Jalco laced to Formula hubs)... No eyelets and the quality of finish isn't anywhere near as good as a CXP33, Velocity, DT Swiss 1.2 (or whatever they're called)... I've had no problems with them tho', they roll straight and true... I'd probably buy them again... Hope this helps...
Also the ones I got looked like they'd been in the warehouse for 20yrs, peeling stickers, quite grubby etc. So they may well be NOS, which may explain why I couldn't find them anywhere else...
