Are these Carbonzone wheels?
I'd try google, there are plenty of stories on there about cheap chinese wheels and other cheap chinese carbon products.

If you have £400 to spend, go for the Planet X wheels, even if the rims are chinese, the hubs have japanese bearings and are handbuilt in Sheffield so you have a contact IF you have any problems.

yea carbonzone or alibaba, ive read up on lots of stories,mostly good i gotta say,sometimes shipping delays but all in all it seems most are v happy with the product they get, planet x say their wheels can only cover up to 90kg and im currently 97kg, and of tall stocky build so i dont see myself getting that low,,chinese wheels state weight tolerence of up to 105kg,,, i know to take that with a pinch of salt too,, hmmmmm what to doo???

97kg...go handbuilt 32 or 36 spoke, less hassles. Unless you're speeds are in the 20mph+ range and preferably nearer 25mph, you wont have much gain.
