Few things to defend.
Firstly lightweights are good wheels, there just expensive, and hence they get left to the world of fat buisness men for there weekend ride to the local coffe shop. (this is what the lightweight supplier here in Aus was saying). I know lots of people who race on them and love them.
The claim that asian made parts are bad, this is true alot of the time, but just because they come from asia rather then from europe, america etc doesn't really make alot of difference. I mean look at look frames. Lots of them go bad, even the french made ones. Lots of other companies are the same. Its the company and its testing procedures which are important.
Also training on 6000 tubulars? These aren't an everyday wheel, they're tubulars for a start. get your $400 dollar clinchers and smash them, save the expensive stuff for racing.
i think these wheels are best of thought of like the Bugatti Veyron, not for everyone, just the very rich
