Sharing my recent experience with Tagoola, ordered two wheelsets from them through AliExpress:
Aeroraptor ALL ROAD, 24mm internal, 32.6mm external, 40mm deep with CX Ray spokes:
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008351886354.html
Weight came in at around 1460g with rim tape, if I recall correctly - seems in line with the 1430g advertised (without tape)
The wheels are mounted on my Waltly custom all road with 38mm supple tires and TPU tubes.
Shaved off almost 600g versus my previous aluminum wheels with durable tires.
Asked for no decals, shipped with tubeless valves and two spare spokes.
Rim bed has holes, which is fine for me and is covered with Kapton like tape.
Wheels are true, excellent ride feel for an all road bike.
After some vouchers and with the seller's shipping method that includes delivery & tax for shipping to Europe, Germany, I paid slightly below 400 EUR.
At this price this is an excellent set of wheels for all road and gravel bikes.Aeroraptor RP PRO, 23.5mm internal, 31mm external, 45mm deep
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009041517854.html
Opted for the steel bearings, weight is 1177g (with rim tape) vs the 1160g advertised without tape
Wheels are mounted on a BMC Roadmachine and shaved off almost 400g over my previous 50mm carbon wheel with steel spokes (Scribe Aero, 4 years old).
Same as above: requested no decals and spare spokes (2 shipped), rim bed with holes and covered with Kapton like tape.
This is my first carbon spoke wheelset (spoke width 3.5mm), I would not say it is a harsh ride feel, but it feels less compliant as steel spokes.
On the other hand, because of less weight and the stiff spokes, the wheels feel more stiff when accelerating and more lively when riding and cornering compared to my previous wheelset.
After vouchers and with seller's shipping method (including delivery & tax to Europe, Germany) these were <600 EUR.Can not speak much about crosswind performance or long term relaibility, only done a few rides on each of the wheels.
Communication with Matter and the team was excellent and prompt.
Hard to believe there are better wheels, most definitely not at this price point - clear recommendation from my side.
