Strengths:    Strong, stiff, light, "Bling" factor, hubs spin soooo smooth...and tubeless!

Weaknesses:    none yet

Bottom Line:   
So far so VERY GOOD! I like these at least as much as my SLR's on my race bike. Not a bad price for such a nice wheelset. Wish they came with Ti skewers but stock ones aren't bad. Also, so far the regular Rocket Ron's tires I'm running tubeless (w/ stan's sealant) work and ride AWESOME!
