[Closed] Thinking of buying a set of Nukeproof factory built wheels, any experiences?

I'm looking for some wider rims as I run 2.5s and I currently have Flows on Pro2, I'm also worried about normal Pro2s running 12mm rear.
Thinking about Nukeproof factory built. Any experiences? Are they ghetto tubelessable?

they are pretty cool but you could probably find something more modern

Doesn't the NP Mega have a DT swiss rear 12mm axle, which doesn't have the thinner middle section of the maxle lite, which causes the breakages? No need to worry then....

My old Pro2s are gunsmoke and don't go with the black!
Also, I need some wider, stronger rims and need a rebuild as a couple of spoke heads have come off recently and although I got them replaced and re-trued, it's still worrying.
Although the rear of my bike is DT Swiss x12, it's still a bit thin back there, I'd be happier with a thicker axle wall.
I fancy some all-yellow wheels anyway!

Built up some wheels round NP Generator hubs on Pimplite rims.
I like them and the the front one came with the spacers if you want to use a maxle.
