Anyone have any experience of these? They have a fairly deep rim for the price and look a bit different, but have seen no reviews.

    Having used a pair of their entry-level wheels (Zerolite) for all my road riding since summer '06, no negative points to make about Vuelta products based on my own experience. The Zerolites haven't needed any attention from a spoke key, and the bearings and Campag-pattern freehub mechanism are still absolutely fine. Would expect similar if not even better build quality in the pricier, though lighter, Chromelites.

    I've got a pair of Starlites which (I think) are exactly the same as the Chromelites but in black.

    There's nothing wrong with the wheels, but I wouldn't say they are any better than my £45 Shimano R500s.
