eBay wheel

If the price is right, yes....That being said, I saw a thread on ST were someone tested these and said they work great on the flats but downhill can be scary since the aerodynamics of the wheel make it a little unstable compared to many of the name brand deep wheels on decents.  I have no clue if this is true or not but thought I's throw it out so anyone with these wheels can verify.  

Not sure about buying that wheel but If i needed a 300$ front wheel I would buy Rudedog55's .

Thanks, not necessarily in the market for a wheel but saw them and thought I might save up for them if I decide to do another IM.  Plus add a disc cover.  Not really worried about weight.  I am around 230lbs so I don't worry too much about a few grams.   I just don't want them to fall apart after 1 ride.

At 230lbs, you need to be concerned with the strength of the wheel. The rim strength is one thing, but you really need to take a look at the completely build (hub and spokes, plus quality of the build job). For example, what is max. weight for this wheel?

Also, just because you fall within max weight, doesn't necessarily mean that everything is well and fine... many times, these Chinese wheels are not the stiffest (this one for example comes with a pretty soft hub and low quality spokes, so I would expect it to flex like crazy)...

The rim is more than likely Chinese

They are definitely from china. They say the 88mm are up to 250lbs. Thanks for the input this was what I was looking for
