hello there, does anybody has built wheel with Soma Weymouth 700c rims?

i've been offered a pair for quite a nice price in 32 holes and might build them for semi-loaded long distance touring with them. couldn't find much on the interwebs though. any help appreciated. :)

I had (well have since I haven't figured out what to do with them yet...) a set of 650B Weymouths. They have a very deep well and were very hard (impossible?) to get tires to seat right. Very frustrating...
The 700c size may be better, but I say buy at your own risk...

thanks guido, i'm going to try them anyway; hoping that 700c is not 650b fit-wise. for 30€ there's not much to lose and, if not up to par, they'll go back to the big smelter in PRC. :D
