What Easton wheelset do I have?

Help appreciated identifying what model of wheelset I have.

700c wheels, no decals or marks on black rims, clinchers, spoke holes visible inside rim. 28 hole rear, 24 hole front, with front being straight pull, and rear straight pull on non-drive side, and cross 2 on drive side.

Outer rim width = ~19.x mm, rim height ~21mm, and a sticker inside the front rim sez "R23*24H 00279"

Front n rear hubs are R4, Campy hub, 130mm rear, 100mm front.

=== ALSO: Are these rims OK to relace to tubeless ready rims? I don't know anything about Easton hubs, as I've been a good little Shimergo boy --- Thanks!

Those R4 hubs were really bad, it was hard to keep preload on the bearings and they wear out super fast. I forget the names of the wheels, but I had the tubular versions for a while.

I wouldnt bother relacing them to anything.

My guess is Circuit/EA 70 - I think that’s what the Circuit was rebadged to. I have an old set Circuits and Tempest 2. They both have that rim profile but the Tempest has bladed spokes.I always like those wheels but mine have R2 or R3 hubs.
