Hi.
Just seen a pair of these and they look pretty good.
I have seen them on Parker for £360 but on ebay for £210 and £240 on other sites.
Worth a gamble at that price

Can't believe no one tried these for £210 Maybe I will be the first? These or shimano's I think. 0

I've got two pairs of Xeros if you want to try them. The ones on the Ebay link look like the normal Xeros with a carbon wrap on the rim to bling them up, turning a light wheel into a heavy wheel The normal ones are OK'ish as a training wheel but according to my average speed computer reading are very slow rolling, and from the amount of brake rub are very flexy.0

Reading the description of these on Parker and RoadCyclingUK they are indeed just carbon wrapped so not a true carbon wheel and therefore have none of the benefits that brings (light weight, stiffness). You'd be better off with the all alloy version and saving both money and weight.
A word of warning though, like Pirahna has said Xero's are very flexy. My XCR1's were light, pretty strong and stayed true but one of the worst performing wheels I've used due to their flexyness. Unless you are very very light there are probably much better wheels out there for the money.0 -
Your correct, carbon wrapped
WHo would have paid £550 for them originally?
Guess I will go for the shimano 7850cl.
Cheapest I have seen these for so far is £465 parkers, any cheaper sites?0
