Would you be interested in purchasing carbon clinchers at 9k with the same build quality as zipp, wheels would resemble the U shape firecrest.

judging by the hub type except the DT Swiss it is chinese specials...you are going to struggle to sell it at that price as you can bring them in for about 5k...

 

FFWD is hand build in Holland, I assume Zipps will also be hand build somewhere...look at the Firecrest for instance as you can't buy the same look rim as a knock off...I even pickedup my FFWD F4R's look different than the fake ones...different carbon look.

Agreed, you can pick from different carbon weaves eg 3k. 12k or UD.

Incorrect, the firecrest is a different look everyone knows that. Go to the cycle shop and go check it out...if you can source a original Zipp firecrest rim for 9k a set then send me some pics.
