They’re just rebranded china rims, I’m sure they’re great and all but not worth 900$
Edit: I ride china rims, and they cool
I don’t have them, but looking at the specs they look semi-decent. The wide inner and outer rim width allows you to run 28s and especially larger tires no issue. It’s a more modern rim profile. You definitely can get cheaper wheels directly from china, e.g. from AliExpress or LightBicycle. You do have to decide if it’s worth the hassle if you have trouble. State seems to be pretty helpful at least in the US, which can be good if you like someone to talk to, cuz you can be rest assured that some random aliexpress seller won’t give you much of a customer service if things go wrong.
