had a set of rims lying around at work, i thought id give em a go. when built [by yours truly] they went together quite nicly and easy enought to tune up. they have taken the punishment of 4x riding thus far.
resonable weight, strength, price. cant go to wrong.
if you have them hand built, [same to be said about any wheel] it will last you a long time.

Wheel Sport
Strengths:
Relatively low weight and inexpensive. And they are white, white is soo hot right now.
Weaknesses:
Very weak eyelets, I've managed to detension them several times and now the eyelets are actually ripping out of the rim. Noice one. If you arent very aggressive and want a rim that looks pretty rad but dont have the coin for some DT Swiss Enduro 1750's you might like, but if you are a serious downhiller looking for something to take punishments like the DEE MAX will look somewhere else. These were recently replaced with a set of Sun Ringl'e A.D.D.s no complaints on these yet but I'll post a review once I get some time on them.
Similar Products Used:
Dee Max's DT Swiss 1750's and 2350's Sun Ringl'e Single Track and ADD wheelsets.
Bike Setup:
'06 VPFree Santa Cruz. DHX 5.0 with RCS Titanium Spring Rockshock Boxxer World Cup, Michelin DH24 Tires. Saint cranks and brakes, Burgtec pedals, THE Lux saddle, Holzfeller bars and stem, E-13 guide w/ custom carbon bashguard ODI grips Dangerboy brake levers and endcaps, Sram XO shifting and deralliuer, King headset, and now DTSwiss 2350 rims laced to King Hubs
Bottom Line:
Save your cash unless you really like retensioning your wheels after every ride. Great for all mountain (unless your a weight weenie or a hack) not so great for DHing.

Strengths:
Good racing Rim will hold up to a fare amount of abuse and hard to buckle but not a hucker rim.
Weaknesses:
Easy to dint and flatspot if doing drops to flat
Bike Setup:
2005 Norco Torrent, 66's Truvativ Hollzfella and etc
Bottom Line:
Awsome rim, have done huge drops and landings onto stairs but if landing to flat go with somthing else as the flat spot and highspot really easy. For the same pric you would be better off going with some sunringle intense mag 30's or save your money for some mavic 729's
