got in 4 today, all weighed the same
430g, 5 g over spec, fine
they run 3mm shorter spokes than VXCs or 317s, slightly deeper profile
very stiff rims, nicely done asthetically

interesting note: it looks like the disc rims have machined sidewalls, it sure seems the disc and v are the same rim except the discs are anodized over the machined surface, kind of cool... you COULD run Vs in an emergency I guess

ive heard from a wheelbuilder that these rims can be laced up tighter than any rim in its class
