Spank oozey wheelset question

I got a spank and oozey wheelset with my new evil I got this summer. It seems like a decent wheelset. Light hubs, straight pull spokes, sturdy rims. Feel pretty stiff overall. The engagement is shit and that is the only thing I hate about them.

I have been riding the same Chris king hub for over a decade and ever since getting this bike I have been coveting a ck wheelset. You can get a set with stans rims for 999usd.

Basically I am looking for an excuse to sell the spank wheels and buy some ck wheels. The thing is that I feel a little guilty as I don't really need them unless....someone were to tell me that there is some inherent issue with the spank wheels? Anyone have any experience with them? I usually have troubles with freehubs if anything. Someone give me an excuse...

I don't know how accurate all that is but seems to follow some logic. With that, anyone want a lightly ridden set of spank oozey"s?

Set up for tubless. Ready to go. Have adapter for any frame or fork.

I switched to Tairin hubs laced with Spank OOZY 395,s over my usual Hope hubs and am very happy. Similar cost to Hope and a local company as well. As for Spank OOZY rims , had them on my last 4 bikes and never had a issue rim wise.

Yeah, their rims seem to be okay..but I have had some bad luck with their hubs.

Never tried CK hubs but my Onyx boat anchors have been fun.
