Seems a decent bargain if the description is correct - 30mm wide rim, 370 hub, although it's non-boost (good for me). One review says it's a 20mm rim but for the price I've taken a punt and can always return if it's not as described. £60 is with the NCV2019 new customer code.
.. and a matching front wheel on Wiggle for £40
The staff on Wiggle say it's a 20mm internal width (check Q&As).
Just found it even cheaper - £28 on wiggle!

I really must stop opening PSA posts, cheers Mowgli.
Now just need some PSAs for tyres, rotors, cassettes. This isn't so much of bargin is it.
That's silly cheap! Ordered incase it's the stated size, otherwise it'll go on my Kona Explosif.
Any 29er wheels? Could do with a spare QR rear haha.
Would be to rude not to order one at that price.
Ordered. If they're lighter than the other halfs Giant oem wheels then they'll go on her trance. If not then we've got a spare wheel set for both bikes.

No longer available ...
I ended up buying the £60 one from CRC and then also the £28 one from Wiggle. If anyone wants the £60 one I'm happy to sell on rather than return to CRC if anyone wants it.
As expected it's a 20mm rim rather than the 30mm as advertised.
Oddly they only shipped my front not the rear, just waiting for them to cancel it.
Mine's apparently arriving today with Yodel, wasn't expecting it to be so quick so god knows what they'll do with it if I'm not home when it shows up.
Yup, mine just arrived- 20mm here too. Nice quality though!
Need to decide whether to keep it now.
FYI:
- Centre lock
- Shimano freehub
- No paperwork whatsoever
Yep my rear arrived too, it's the front that's on back order. Yodel seem much improved than when I've used them before, DPD levels of online tracking.
Removable adaptors too if needing to change to QR, not included but then they cost more than the wheel.
I have front and rear now, decal and hub colours are different if that bothers you.
Can anyone suggest the cheapest way for me to get a disc onto the front when the lockring doesn't fit round the axle? I can buy a separate lockring but then I need a BB tool to fit it too.
Would anyone like one for the £28 + postage?
If not, I'll just return it to Wiggle.

Yes.
Yeah that's what I did in the end. Only an extra £18 but I was hoping there was some simple bodge I'd overlooked.
Just waiting for the lockring and tyres to turn up now.
Useful multiuse tool though.
