Soul also has a variety of white wheels. The reviews appear to be good.

Try Greg Ryan of Two Wheel Enterprises (TWE) in Sydney. He will custom build to any spec- any budget - comes highly recommended from me and many others.

Are those weights correct? 2650gm for the set??? I'm no expert, but even I know that's MASSIVE!

@ozdavo: yeah i think they're really heavy... plus the seller responded confirming that it's not bladed spokes. must be some budget wheelset with heavy compos.

@drmutley: i din't know ksyriums came in white... they look nice.

They came on a new bike two months ago, and have been ridden once.... But sit in the corner unused (with 5 other wheelsets) so if ur interested google what they are new and make me a secondhand offer (if that helps u out)....

I love my white DT-Swiss Tricons. 10K and still look new (ish). Bulletproof and not too heavy.
