Bike Setup: Bianchi Veloce with Ultegra, FSA bars/stem,
Summary: These wheels are everything the other 100 reviews have said: stiff for sprinting, cheap, and fairly light. I'm not great at reviewing parts, especially since anything I have to say about the wheels has already been said. I would like to share my experience with Neuvation's customer service.
It's great. I had a slight crack in the rim (I assume this was from being over-tensioned while being trued at a bike shop after a crash, although they wouldn't admit it). I contacted Neuvation's customer service via email, explained what had happened, and within a few hours I was given the address to ship the wheel and they would replace it free of charge.
Strengths: Fairly lightweight for the price, stiff,
Weaknesses: The stickers are pretty gaudy, but I took two off each wheel and it doesn't look bad.
(possibly) durability. The 4mm rip crack could have been bad wrenching or the crash before getting trued.

Bike Setup: Trek 5200 carbon, Scattante R650 aluminum w/ carbon front fork.
Summary: I bought these wheels, because someone told me the best investment I can make on a stock bike is wheels. They were right. These wheels are strong and light compared to other wheels in this price range. I have had one little problem with the rear wheel, but they said all I had to do was ship it to them and they'd re-build it for me at no charge. I think the wheels are awesome for the price and the customer service you get!
Strengths: Strong, somewhat light for a wheel in this price range, great customer service
Weaknesses: None besides the little mishap I had with my rear wheel

Summary: Read reviews on these wheels, and was sceptical, was about to buy some FSA's from Ebay for much more to replace the stock crappy's on my Tricross. I recieved this within a few days, and they look great. WHere true out of the box. I can definetly feel a huge difference with these as they do not flex at all, with my 215lbs on it. Even when I stand and crank they are rock solid. Bumps and ruts in the road no prob. So impressed I plan on buying another set when the go on sale again.
Strengths: Best bang for my 200$, light as other 500$ rims, the sealed bearings spin for ever. Extra spokes was a nice touch in the ship box.
Weaknesses: Quick Release, did not like them. Made me very nervous as I could not tell if or when they locked. I sent feedback on it to neuvation. I used my stock QR's which work fine. THat is my only gripe.
