having got 1/4 of the way through 40 factory built wheels de-stressing and truing them before we can safely release them onto the track, my vote is for decent hand built!
some factory wheels are build very badly and fall to bits cos they never got de-stressed properly. Most people who buy a factory wheelset don't expect to have to do this!
