This replaces a fragile and poorly designed racing wheel. My customer can now commute on his performance bike and carry a bit of weight as well. He is very pleased.;

The wheel was packaged very well and came trued out of the box. Very happy with the value provided and with the quality of the wheel. Would buy again.;

These are cheap wheels. All of the parts individually are fine in and of themselves. But the assembly quality of a bicycle wheel really makes or breaks it. These are machine-built. But they are built poorly. I've bought several wheels made by Wheel Master. All of them have had issues. I buy them because they are cheap and I can fix them myself. They are cheaper than I can buy the individual parts and build them from scratch myself; which is why I buy them.
This one arrived with it off-center by about 1/4". This will cause issues with straight line tracking on the bike. Can you live with it? Probably Is it unsafe? Probably not. Does it mean your brakes are offset to one side? Yep. So I will correct this problem on the truing stand.
Additionally and this has been the case for every WM wheel I've bought the hub bearings are way too tight from the factory. Super-tight and notchy. Like the wheel will barely make a couple of revolutions before stopping tight. So that needs to be attended to before installing and riding on them. You'll roast the cones if you don't do the bearing adjustment. You'll need to own some cone wrenches to do it yourself. Like I said I can do the work on these wheels to make them better than they arrive.
Would I recommend these? Probably not unless you're willing to do the work or pay someone to do it.
I'm giving it 3 stars because the parts are good but the build quality and hub bearing nonsense really drops the rating. They are decently light and the Weinman ZAC-19 rim is actually a good rim. These also have a nice appearance. I like the black rim with the silver machined braking surface along with the black and silver rim label. It goes together the black spokes and silver nipples for a complete theme. I think the WM hubs are also good once you sort out the bearing setup. Straight gauge spokes and brass nipples are just industry standard pieces and nothing to write home about.;

Nice robust wheels bought as a set for a bike project. Obviously not disc brake compatible. If you are still rocking rim brakes and need a well trued and strong replacement wheel set. These would be a worthy candidate!;
