I was going to buy a set of wheels from thebikebiz.com. White Phil hubs to white Deep Vs. Here's a quote from the email they sent me: "Wheel price would be $675 USD, and shipping will be approximately $200 USD". So... $875. Yesterday I received a pair of the exact same wheels from Richard at prowheelbuilder.com. Total cost including shipping: $594.70. That's almost $300 difference for the exact same item. I ordered them Sept 6 and received them September 18, so less than two weeks later. I only had to pay $31 in taxes and no customs. The wheels are fantastic and the price was great. Thanks Richard!

I just spent the weekend riding on my new wheels(Dt Swiss RR585 rims/ Chris King R45 hubs). Wow, it was like being on a different bike. The wheels rode smoother and were stiffer than the set that they replaced(Fulcrum Racing 1), and cost $300 less! I am sold, will be ordering from you guys from now on.
