So I'm in the market to replace my wheels with some new 5 spokes and I've noticed over the last year or so that cip offers 2 different sets with a noticeable gap in price.

The silver and black ones are $90 but are supposedly "poor quality" because they try to sell you European ones for $130 (which I've read are MWS and have a bad rep, I know. Not trying to start a firestorm about whether they're crap or not). My question is if the cheaper ones are American eagles or are they no name?

The cheaper ones look like American Eagle to me...

Well is there anything besides American eagles and MWS's out there at the moment or is it just those 2?

There are the Rocket alloys made in Mexico. But I don't know who carries them. I am running these on my squareback. They don't have the 1/2" pedestal that sets the rim out either.
