Not sure if it already has been linked somewhere on this forum. Came across it [here]( )
Has winspace learned something after wanting to be a premium Chinese brand and recognizes a need to come back to normal-ish prices. Or has raw cost gone down enough for them it sell it at this price  :o ???

More that costs are coming down. Go-Zone on AliExpress are selling similar wheels for $600 US (including postage to Aus):

21mm internal is too narrow for my liking but fine if running 28mm or less.

These also seem awfully heavy for carbon-spoked wheels. At that weight, I'd be looking for something with steel spokes - you could easily get something with Sapim Spokes in that price range and have a more reliable spoke/nipple option.

That's straight up awful in 2024.
27mm external means you can't run 28C tyres, as they will mushroom out, slowing you down. So it largely negates the benefit of a 50mm deep wheel --> severely outdated design.
The weight for such a narrow rim wheelset, with carbon spokes, is also really bad. In fact they do say they use T700 carbon, which nobody should be using in wheels, unless they want to ride really low end stuff. You can get a quote from Peter from Xiamen carbon speed for full T800 rims that will cost much less, be much lighter, wider, and better.

That wheelset is objectively a dog of a product in 2024.

Rims are shit, winspace have been a bit behind fhe times here for a couple years, but I'm glad they're finally moving to a proper hub design even if their verson is heavy af. That's a very good sign
