How do you get this price, and which wheel would you choose for a roadbike (50mm would be my choice, but 60/50 rear/front seems nice as well).

[RoadieMKD]

Placed an order today for a set of 65mm. Paid total 512 eur including DPD shipping (76 eur). Used coins plus 40eur off code to get to that price. Seems reasonable

[kanuto]

Used the coupon + coins. Btw, im not in EU. Maybe that is why shipping is cheaper.

Wheels ordered from AliExpress, anyone else get a message saying production is lengthy and requesting to extend the ship date?

they said to me production would be 15 days and shipping 20 days. the wheels arrived in just over a week. I guess they dont have live stock tracking so covering their backs? The anniversary sale will be busy for them

Yes, I ordered on 18 but they shipped on 22. So It was very quick.

they told me the same.
But they shipped the wheels after 4 days. Hoping its all good.

Hi. I'm about to buy a pair of these Elite Superlight whells, promo ends at 28 march on ALiexpress. 65mm deep (weight 1495gr.), ceramic bearings, tubeless, inner width 21 outer width 28, shimano 11v.)

Link - https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005004767705476.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.0.0.2db023nV23nVkV&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra

1 - Can some one tell me whats the shape of these rims - U shape, V shape or mixed UV shape?

2 - They come with Pillar's Wing 20 spokes, are they aerodynamic?

3 - I'm from Portugal, what delivery options should i select to avoid VAT? I road some coments but i'm still a bit confused. I guess i shoul select "Sellers Shiping method" (more 75,98€)

This is lots of questions =) Would apreciate your coments! Thanks in advance

1. They are U shape, as most modern rim profiles are.

2. Pillar wing spokes are the same as Pillar 1420 spokes and are flat bladed lightweight aero spokes. They have less tensile strength than more beefy spokes but are reliable. My friend has 1420 on a set of wheels and has no issues 80kg body weight...

3. Contact the seller first about shipping option, but yes you should select Seller's shipping method to get DPD shipping with prepaid tax.

Bonus tip: don't forget to use the discount codes to get extra discount. At best you will get 80 eur off.

I ordered the same wheels but still not shipped. I guess 65mm is not very popular and they do not have them in stock.

Happy riding!

Thank you RoadieMKD for reply.

I've contacted Elitewheels via Aliexpress app and they said if i use "Sellers Shiping method" (pay more 75,98€) then i will not pay VAT and also the delivery is faster. Yes, i have a discount code that will save 120$ on orders over 599$, so in total i'll pay 505,3$ for this 65mm wheelset (aniversary discont sale included).

About tires.. Rear i use 28mm tire, in front i have 25mm, continental gp5000 (not tubeless, i'll use RideNow TPU superlight innertubes). This Elite Edge rim width is 28mm, can i use my 25mm tire on this rim with no problems?

The 25mm might be a pain to put on the rims, but it will work.

25mm GP5000 non TL works perfect on the edge rims. It measures 27.4mm on that rim (which would be perfered aero-wise compared to the 28mm, which might measure closer to 30 and bulge out on the rim)

mounting the GP5000 25mm is also no problem. No need for tire lever when mounting and removing (I also use TPU tubes)

It was the same for me. I am from Europe and the shipping is with DPD.

Joegal nice to know.
This EDGE wheels comes with YAN RD13 36T ratchet hub. I hope it is loud enougth. Can someone confirm? They come with grease?
By the way, brought this wheelset yesterday. Now waiting is a torture =D

Edit: Just talked with Sukie, for more 35 USD$ i've updated the Hub from 36T ratchet to 60T.
