For that $, a great wheelset..like I mentioned, I'd have a decent wheelbuilder check them..
Remember a liter of water weighs over 2 pounds and you and your bike, that package weighs maybe in the 85,000 or so gram range so I would fret over 300 grams..

Totally agree.
This is just a great deal given they're not charging labor, free shipping..and the 20% off code helps.
The little weight savings do add up..
The wheelset I was looking at prior to is Bike Hub Store (or Bitex) hubs laced to R460 or Kinlin rims which is closer to 15xx g due to also going 28/32.
