  All German products are equal, so it's pointless buying an S-Class because a VW Golf carries the same number of people for ¼ of the price.

  I was talking about chinese carbon wheels and rims of course :)
  BTW, I am very keen to try one of these chinese carbon wheelsets.

  I think I'll buy one from this shop on aliexpress: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Only-1095g-ultra-light-24mm-tubular-carbon-racing-wheels/510015274.html

  or

  320€ shipped...feedback about products and shop are ok too ;)

  Kyle has replied fastly indeed ;)

  However, their price seems higher, infact I can find complete wheelsets for 420-440$ shipped, theirs are sold for 560$ + shipping (700c 38*23mm).
  I know that components may be different (sapim spokes instead of cnspoke/pillars or Novatec hubs instead of Bitex/ED/Powerway) but all these chinese products, IMO, are all equal or so and their costs are ridiculous!

  Thank you :)
  Do you think that these sellers can supply a little bit larger quantity of their products (10-15 wheelsets) ?

  CN Carbon are good in my experience. They will also 'custom' build- they built me a radial front track clincher but only advertise a crossing pattern.

  That's nice to hear :)

  Ive used Far Sport for 38mm tubs. All good in the hood.

  Their products looks pretty solid and well built but I can't see prices. Do I have to contact them in order to get more info, right ?

  Hello guys, I've seen in this thread a lot of chinese sellers. Which one has proved to be the best in terms of quality/price ratio and reliability, which one would you suggest me to buy items from ?

  Are there any other out there ?
  P.S. I'm looking for a road wheelset and 29er wheelset (wide rims)

  Cheers :)

  Hi Siribike, I would be surely interested but... I live in Italy.

  Hi guys, is there anyone who bought the standard frame, without any customization ?

  How does it look like ?

  Cheers :)
