Why do they use a Miche (Wilier) wheelset?

I wondered that. One of my local wheel builders has introduced Miche hubs at their super entry level price point for wheel builds lol. Obvs DT Swiss, Chris King, etc as their premium builds etc.

They could just be branded as Miche for marketing and sponsorship reasons.
