We bought the wheels off AliExpress - which is relevant because there is a difference between the EliteWheels website and their Ali site.

We got the SLR-MTB 29er, and due to manufacturing delays on the 25mm rims, we ended up opting for 29mm rims and got:

XC33 29" Rim, pillar spokes and nipples 12 speed MS.

The only issue was the cassette didn't line up very nicely the first time I mounted it and it felt like the threads were starting to fail, the aluminium used in manufacturing didn't feel as strong if that makes sense. The same thing happened with my set of gravel wheels and the centrelock brakes.

All in all you can't beat the value for money for these wheels.
