pacenti forza rims - any experience yet?

Anyone build up a set of pacenti forza wheels yet?

i'm attracted to the offset rear, and about to build up a 24r/20f set.

thoughts, opinions, ride reports welcomed.

I not only build them, I have a set as my everyday wheels. The older rims were a completely different animal.

The new rims are made in a different factory and QC is better. The specs make for relatively easy mounting tires. The spoke bed thickness is better and the brake track makes for much easier pad alignment since there's more room.

The offset rear is a great option not all rim companies offer so you get better relative tension on the left side f the rear wheel.

I recommend with absolutely no reservation.

Would be cool if Kirk did some "disc specific" versions without the MSW. The OC would be a good idea on the front as well, no?
