Very hot. I believe that you can get them with different colour spokes too for a custom look.

I like these with the white spokes

I'm personally a bit put off by Spinergy's, due to their cool looking 8spoke composite wheels having numerous failures...

 

Now I know these are not the same wheels, and they've obviously jacked things up since then, but I rather stick to the more established wheels - Mavic, Easton, Campaq, Fulcrum etc etc.

 

Just my opinion

Not being a direct reply to the above set of wheels - but did a bit of research in regards to MTB wheels a while back... Appears that the company did take a bit of a dip several years ago (which would presumably tie in with what Marius is saying), but that other than this - and more recently, they've apparently upped the game, returned to previous levels and are accordingly receiving good reviews again...

 

Hope this helps - my 2 cents.
