I also bought from the same seller. I feel the same as the comments below. One thing to watch out for, and I believe the seller thus far seems to have been describing thing accurately, is that some of his rims have worm holes in them. So far, I have seem him describe this well, but be sure you are seeing pics of the actual set of rims he is mailing, and ask questions prior to purchase. Also, these being older, they will not be as good nor as reliable as a new set of Ghisallo rims due to the difference in glue. newer Ghisallo rims use a two-part marine epoxy and will hold up better over the long run through humidity, temperature changes, and rain/moisture. So may be worth the extra money.
