    Could you be more specific? There are a lot of wheel manufacturers in Taiwan, and there is not one uniform quality between them all.

If it is an unbranded wheel from Taiwan, it is one of 2 things:

  • A quality wheel from a reputable brand being sold grey market.

or

  • A quick and dirty design Made up so that somebody can make a fast buck on th Internet.

Given the quality of the hubs and spokes referenced, in this case, it is the second option.

I wouldn't buy those wheels. You will likely regret the purchase.
