Any experience with these wheels or Workswell? How long for shipping to the US?

I have a pair of the 50x26.5 version. Bought from an ebay seller sobatostore. Came in workswell box. Very well packed. Took about 3 weeks. Didn't know they were workswell wheels at the time, and seller didn't answer a direct question about their relationship with Workswell. Well built, even tension, nice finish. Very smooth braketrack compared to another noname set of 50x25's that I have from the first batch of these being common. I have no comment on the quality of the resin used as I haven't really tested them on a steep descent yet, and don't push carbon clinchers in the hills where I can avoid it.

For "open mold" wheels they seem normal to maybe just a notch above normal. Weight was about as advertised.

Oh yeah-the shape seems to work pretty well in crosswinds. Given that there's a very minor weight penalty over the 38's, I'd look at the 50's. And the G3 lacing is cool.

Thanks for the information. Are these the ones you got?
