Yes, they are.  Nice and wide internal diameter.  I've used them for XC, Joberg2C, trail riding and they work great.  I have been to their business premises in Cape Town and they are legit. They even rebuilt a wheel for me at a great price, when i purchased a new fork.  

 

See specs below.

Thanks Nonky. I was looking for some specs to compare. I didnt see that sheet.

For comparison:

Checking some of the prices I couls find so far. A set of South Industry wheels would set me back double the price of Lyne and almost 50% more than the Csixx..

 

Does nobody here ride any of these two brands or are there issues that I am unaware of? Feel free to dm me if you have some info or recommendations

 

Thanks for the input so far

No real issues at all, you can't really go wrong with any of the options. 
FYI cSixx are designed and prototyped inhouse, so they're far from being a generic white label product.

The Lyne components wheels are great value. Csixx has arguably better hubs. They both use an asymmetrical rim with. 29mm inner width or thereabouts. Either will serve you well.

I don’t think Csixx is doing their own carbon manufacture yet. They are working on a new handlebar range and rims are in the works but current products are imported afaik

I never said that they do.

Ok semantics, design and prototyped are very broad terms. Many companies design a label and trial an off the shelf Proust and slap their name in it and say designed (the label) and prototyped ( we rode it around a bit to see when it would break then added a genre label)

they certainly tested the crap out of their build options which is similar to what Lyne did with their wheels

Design/protyping are separate processes from manufacturing which is an end process in the entire ecosytem.
My post was to help the OP from direct experience, not to have a back forth pissing contest with you.
