These are great wheels--light, quiet, smooth, strong and attractive. Alas, there are two issues with the wheels: (1) The freehub lockring clearance is very short and may not work with SRAM cassette lockrings; and (2) the brake surface width is very narrow--narrower than even brand new brake pads.
To resolve the lockring clearance issue, try a shimano lockring. I found the shimano lockring was 2-3mm shorter than my sram lockring.
I haven't found a workaround to the narrow braking surface issue. My brake pads hang off the edge of the rim and still drag along the stickers, and these pads are brand new and narrower than any other road pad I own (I've tried 5 different brands).

If you can work around these issues, these are amazing rims at a great price.
