Elite Wheels doing 11:11 sales but Yuanan not?

I messaged Kelly (Yuanan) about any potential up coming sales and she said they were not doing 11:11 deals.

Given the exact same spec set of wheels I am looking at were ~5% more expensive on elite wheels (branding is acceptable) and I just visited their website to be told their 11:11 sales start on the 31 st.

So it looks like a few more days wait before purchase is in order to potentially get a better deal.
 
Is it correct to assume they are the same wheels, given what everyone on here says (weights seem to match and they look the same in pictures). Even the elite website talks about their Yuanan origins.

Maybe the hubs are slightly different. Although elite wheels never answered my question on that (through their service email address) which is sad.

I guess I wait and see for price.

Last year was same deal, elite run specials not yuanan, I ended up spending 30$ more with yuanan but wanted to support oem…

You mean the discount starts on the 31 ?
I can’t wait to buy the Elite Edge wheelset for my new bike

So far they are taking pre-order for Drive and Drive Helix, $50 deposit to reserve with a ~20% saving, from the email it looks like you pay the rest between 31st and 8th. Not the wheel sets I am after but it was hinted that more will go on special from the 31st. Waiting to see how it plays out in the next few days.
