Has anyone tried this company? https://www.deerobust.com/

They have very competitive rim weights and I wonder whether they come as advertised.
I'm evaluating this as an alternative to Light Bicycle WR50 Flyweight set:

Front rim - https://www.deerobust.com/50mm-carbon-r ... width.html
Rear rim - https://www.deerobust.com/60mm-carbon-r ... width.html

Wheel spec:
Axles: 12x100 and 12x142
Type - hooked
Freehub body - Shimano HG
Hub - Carbon Ti
Spokes - Sapim CX Ray, 24
Brake type - Centerlock

Thank you Captain Obvious. And have you tried using it yourself before making an obvious suggestion? No info on that.

EDIT: I went through their configurator and 32GAR50 + 32GAR60 (25 internal/32 external rims with 50 deep front 60 rear) are coming marginally heavier, than LB WR50/WR65

For what it's worth, the deerobust rims have a better profile than lb
