Nope they are legit. Bought three over the years.

I've bought two wheelsets from them. One was very well built, the other was suitable but the nipples seemed pretty worn down. Looks like they were hurried. I had to be super careful to unscrew the nipple spokes to replace them.

If I recall correctly they are just J&B importer wheelsets.   Nothing different than any bike shop can order for you.   Other than the price, VeloMine will be much cheaper.
Highly recommended.

I’ve bought a couple sets from them. Both good and a good deal.

I bought a couple wheelsets from them a few years back. Both sets needed to be re-tensioned and trued. Still good value, especially for those able to do that work themselves.

Four seconds on their homepage tells me that they have much more than J&B sells. 

I've never purchased from them, but have heard lots of positive reviews.

I bought a set of "basic" wheels from them (105 hubs, 32 spoke, Velocity A23 rims) and used them on a cross country ride (3600 miles including some rough pavement).  No problems at all - very minor truing at end of tour but all spokes stayed tight.  Velomine might be a reseller as the box said "Wheelmaster".

Yes, Velomine sells lots of stuff from many suppliers.    The wheels however are J&B.   Nothing bad implied by that.   Most shops either get their wheels from J&B or Quality.

I'm referring to the wheels.
