These are just farsports wheels. H-works hub, with farsports rims. The front is one of their gravel rims and the rear is a Hyper rim Can get this for under 1000 € directly from them.

28mm id seems pretty wide. How can you use a 28mm tire with it regardless if it's hooked? Probably need to go with a 32mm tire which I am fine with but still seems crazy

Also, I imagine no 6. composites is going to have an issue with the name and the same industry. If so, it will likely limit their ability to sell effectively / support product in the US and Europe.

Are the H-works hubs and those spokes also available from Farsports?

The front rim it's obvious ... yes. FS don't currently have a good option for <25mm and wide external for front wheels, and No.6 just took their stock gravel spec rim which has way too wide internal for less than 35mm tires, IMO. People running 28s or 30s having blowoffs in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

Which exact model are they from farsports/wheelsfar? I can't seem to find the exact rim that matches the depth and width of the no.6. $1500 is a little steep for me so it's great to have a cheaper option straight from the source!

Got my set this last weekend.. dont give a shit that they "are farsports". Paid 1386$ w/ discount code...The ride feel is great, they look great and I'm absolutely loving the weight - dropped 253g / .55lbs from the bike...(prev wheelset was LB AR46 which was a fine wheelset) even better now... and the grip is great / running 28mm GP 5K TT TR. (I'm 62.5KG - and I'm totally digging these hoops)

I've never used WheelsFar to order custom Far Sports wheels before, but I had heard it mentioned several times. This thread was the final straw, as I had seen the GC Performance Review, along with the wheel price, and once again I heard I could get the same for much less! So I had a browse. I couldn't quite find what I was looking for, so I registered on the web site, as I thought that might give me access to additional pages etc. It didn't, but within a few hours I got an email from someone called Emma at FarSports, asking if I had found what I needed. I was just browsing really, but I thought 'what the heck' and specced out what I was after, since she had asked! I emailed over my requirements (I actually wanted a wide rear gravel rim too) and got back two examples configs with prices. I had forgotten to mention I wanted XDR hubs, mailed that back, hopped in the shower and by the time I got out, I had another reply. I have gone back and forth a few times to tweak the spec. I was dead impressed with the customer service. So much so that I'm about to place an order. I am really just posting this to say that if you've been wondering about buying a custom Chinese wheelset, I would certainly give them a go - I was very pleasantly surprised. I've put the two quotes I was given below. As toxin said, you could get similar wheels for cheaper. Alternatively, you could get higher spec wheels for the same price. It certainly opened my eyes to some extra options!

I've been researching for several weeks, trying to find the ideal wheelset to run a pair of 32mm GP5000S TR tyres. Admittedly, 28mm internal width on these rims is a bit more than I would have liked. I would have been happier with 24/25mm. But I really wanted a 34mm external rim width that would match up nicely with the 32mm tyres. So whilst these wheels aren't my perfect build, they are the best I can find right now. I guess with the market moving to wider tyres, more options will be coming along soon. But anyway, that's my reason for my rim choice.
