Now i feel bad.
Well, i have owned a set of halo aerorage. I had no problems with them at all, and thought they were an excellent budget wheelset. Some people have had problems with the hubs threading, i.e. where the freewheel or sprocket is attached. But i think that if you lube the threads properly, and are careful when taking sprocket off/putting them on, then there shouldn't be an issue.
If i were you, i'd buy the halo's as complete wheels. They're great start up wheels, and have all the hipster colours (if you dont bash them up too bad, you could probably sell them on here after a year or so anyways).
I'd imagine you are converting an old road frame that rear fork is spaced at 130mm. If this is the case, don't bother with a spacer kit. Just fit the 120mm wheel, and tighten up evenly on each side.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
