I know a buddy who uses em. Not sure if he is a benchmark though, he goes damn hard and has a couple of dings.
I dont know any rim he HASNT dinged up, but these seem to be running him OK, at least at the moment.

Why don't you just get a Spinergy wheelset?
Geez.

I can't speak for the hubs, but MTX rims hold up well and are a bit lighter than other DH rims. And cheaper.
cheap, light, strong - take all 3 in this case I guess
MTX rims are kinda soft, Jake put about 20-30 dents into his an about a month.
The Transition Wheelsets are a real good deal, same rims as syncros, only with single eyelets. Nice hubs too.

I also just received some hubs which would allow me to build a custom wheelset for $300 front/rear. Call/email for details.

thanks matt for the info , i will probably be e-mailing you in the coming weeks. lol, but as it stands right now there is only a 3 dollar difference in price for me the A.D.D's will cost 323 and the ones you have the link for are 320. But it does offer me different options
