Rev X’s are pretty common, and have decent reviews. Have you personally had issues with them?
No, I’m not that brave.
http://fixedgearbikes.blogspot.com/2009/02/spinergy-rev-x-goes-for-broke.html Some people have ridden them for a long time without problem, but sometimes they just break, and when they break they break in a spectacular fashion. Everyone has their own risk tolerance level, but for me, the chance that my front wheel could disappear at speed isn’t worth a couple percent performance. Note that I’m also not real small, and “how durable is this part” is always a consideration when I’m buying stuff for my bike.Take the manufacturer’s advice very seriously: http://www.spinergy.com/catalog/tech/tech_v2.php Remember that they’re carbon wheels with a catastrophic failure mode that doesn’t necessarily show obvious signs prior to failure, and that the wheels are at least 14 years old. Then make an informed decision.
