I also bought the same wheels from lightcarbon. They are dt Swiss 350 hubs and they ride very good!

Here's the best I've found 25mm internal width and ratchet drive dt Swiss 240 clone hubs

I wonder why that store "SmartTeam cycle Store" doesn't show up on the US website.

I'm always wary with Pilar nipples, a quick look in the comments show a guy that broke two of them after five rides.
Maybe they provide brass nipples on request.
Not sure about their hubs, but it looks all hubs coming in Ali are now DT-Swiss-ized.
Other than that, yes great price !

They mention Pillar spokes but not nipples that I saw. They did say "Nipple: Secure Lock" which is sapim.

Anyway, that photo you are talking about, I think the spoke length is way too short, unless the spoke broke off too. The spoke should thread past the wide section of the nipple.

These look pretty good! Reviews seem ok!

Another store I have heard good things about is Diars.

i noticed they have Nox branding on the factory photos, i guess they could just be stock photo's or are we to believe these are the same rims made for Nox?
