Great wheels, Even after couple thousand kilometres (2500km) they are still quite true and no issues so far!
Installation:
Tubeless rim take was applied twice (as suggested by them) and it's keeping the fluid inside so far. center lock disc brakes had no issues. Make sure, to also order long valves or valve extensions. But of course, there is not much benefit in deep wheels, maybe 0,5km/h faster, tops 1 km/h in good conditions (Side wind). I would opt for a smaller rim next time, so I can swap the inner tube in emergency situations better and don't have to deal with long valves. Hubs: Hub spins good, but like other commenters found out, the noise is not really pleasant. If you can, try to opt for a better quality Hub (DT Swiss etc.) instead, which ELITE also can build the wheel with.
ELITEWHEELS - My cheapest carbon wheels from AliExpress!
The reviewer provides a detailed review of the Elitewheels Carbon Wheels Disc Brake 700c Road Bike Wheelset, which they purchased from AliExpress. They highlight that these are the cheapest carbon wheels they've ever bought, having put 1183 miles (1900 kilometers) on them, including winter riding in England. The wheels are described as entry-level disc models with a 50mm deep and 25mm wide rim profile, using basic UD carbon layup. The reviewer notes the wheels have stayed true, hold pressure well, and show no cracks or broken spokes. They mention the wheels are stiff and perform well on the road, though they note some flex under heavy power. The reviewer also discusses the tubeless setup challenges and the loud freehub sound as notable issues.

Elitewheels ENT: Is This Aliexpress Bestseller Worth It? [REVIEW]
The reviewer discusses the Elitewheels ENT carbon wheelset, which they purchased for $287 from AliExpress. They tested the wheels over 1,000 kilometers, including challenging terrains like Belgian cobblestone climbs. The wheels are tubeless-ready but are noted as the heaviest 50mm wheels they have tested, with the front wheel weighing 828g and the rear 950g (total 1,778g without tubeless rim tape and valves). The internal rim width is 20mm, and the external width is 28.1mm, which is standard for modern wheels. The wheels feature Pillar 1423 steel spokes and Elitewheels six-pole hubs with steel bearings. The reviewer found the wheels to be well-built with consistent spoke tension and decent hub centering, though they noted some epoxy residue and wrinkles inside the rims. Performance-wise, the wheels felt sluggish on climbs and rolling terrain due to their weight but were comfortable on cobbles and stable in crosswinds. The reviewer also mentions trying the ENT 80mm version, which was faster on flats but less stable in crosswinds.
