FFWD 40 ml or Zipp 101's ?

Anyone here have FFWD's, the c4r's or whatever they're called? 40ml carbon, alloy clinchers. The weight of the wheelset is listed as 1635g which compares really well to Zipp 404's (alloy clincher) at 1662g. The ffwd's are smashing looking in my opinion. Ignoring price for a moment I've a "good deal" option on a set of Zipp…

Ignoring price for a moment I've a "good deal" option on a set of Zipp 101's which are 1530g and apparently reasonably aero too, & undoubtedly a smashing looking wheel with oxymoronically understated bling.

Would be interested to hear owner reviews if there are any

I have the FFWD c4r's.... Very stiff wheels. They roll well. But even more important.....they look great!
