Strengths:    Held true under some pretty rough riding conditions and are reasonabily priced.

Weaknesses:    A little heavy for the more picky of riders.

Bottom Line:   
These wheels are great! For a beginner or a pro for training purposes. They durable I've been on group rides where I have hit some pretty hard bumps and they have held true. They are a little heavy, but other than that great. Makes a great first up grade or backup set.

Strengths:    Looks - they have black spokes with exagerated blades (maybe 3/8 inch wide) which looks really cool especially since my road bike has a black scheme going.

Weaknesses:    Heavy.

Bottom Line:   
I bought these wheels more or less on a whim when they were on special from Nashbar. I wanted a spare wheelset for training and for backup use. My 'nice' set of wheels are borderline in terms of strength for my weight (200lbs) so I thought it would be smart to leave them solely for racing.
These came with tires and tubes already mounted in the box which also saved another $50ish.
I got an inexpensive Ultegra cassette from e-bay and had a fine set of spare wheels for cheap.
They seem more than strong enough and the supplied tires/tubes perform well for training purposes.
At the price they were a bargain.
