I just got a second-hand UNKWN LV1 frame and I'm trying to decide which of these wheelsets offer the best bang for buck. If you have any other recommendations, let me know. Thanks!
I’ve got that CR18 set and think they are really nice for the money!

I think if you want to run wider tires (32 or more) the Sun CR18 is the way, pretty sure the inner diameter is like 20mm or something. Either that or the Alex would be my choice

Velocity rims over Sun or Alex. Take a look at what Velomine has on Mavic rims as well. (I’ve got a set of Mavic and Velocity from them and had no complaints). They use Formula hubs which are solid and often sold rebranded for other companies.
Every set of Alex rims I’ve had came on low end bikes and go out of true quick. If you Google each brand for reviews you’ll see what I mean.
