Elitewheels has been making carbon wheels since 2013 and is part of a larger Chinese manufacturer producing up to 100,000 wheels annually. Its direct-to-consumer model means it can offer wheels at a lower price than those sold via traditional retail methods, but that means you miss out on the benefits of purchasing via a bike shop. The specs on the Drive G45 CS gravel wheels seem too good to be true, especially when you look at the price, so how did they compare to the best gravel wheels out there?
