    Bloody hell, that is cheap!

    would they be much of an upgrade on a pair of reasonably well used Shimano WH R550's....?

    Not really much of an upgrade, unless your old R550's are worn out (the bearings and brake tracks I mean)

    In terms of performance, No (imho) - my RS20's felt slower than than my R550's - the nipples on the RS20's are back on the rim - on the R550's they're on the hub - I prefered the 550's to the RS20's. I found it harder to keep speed with the RS20's for some reason.

    Having said that, the RS20's are better made and feel slightly more robust. (good for basic training wheels)
