As a rule of thumb, I judge all factory wheels as good for one or two seasons at most. Maybe 150-250 rides at the very most. Ive seen so many people have problems on road trips with factory wheelsets (not Spank specifically). I will never go back to hubs that are not premium brand (Chris King, DT, HOPE, I9, White Industries, Hadley,....etc). If you want them, grab 'em! Spank has great products. Just dont expect them to last long term. I think my Spank OOZY rims lasted about 500 rides before cracks at nipples, but hubs were CK.
