I used a Wheels Manufacturing bb on a Parlee PF30 frame and it was faultless for the 5 years of use and still buttery smooth when I removed it. Its a great design if there are any imperfections in the bb alignment as the cups thread together so you're not reliant on the friction fit of the cups.

Not used a wheels manufacturing one, but used Token bb's for years with the same screw together fitment. Except I swap out the bearings for Enduro ones and they last for ages as well as providing a nice smooth rotation with the cranks.

More recently i bought a ZTTO one from Aliexpress with ceramic bearings for £15, wore the driveside bearing out in under 600 miles on my gravel bike, but again swapped the bearings to Enduro ones, and it is silky smooth again.

I had to return a Wheels Manufacturing T47 BB to vendor.
After fitting the BB without issue, the 24mm crank axle would not pass through both sides. Initial nightmare thought was that the frame threads might be misaligned.
On closer inspection, one of the bearings was misaligned in the bottom bracket cup.
I could have possibly pressed it home but had lost faith in the QC and returned it. Never to return.

Loaded the money cannon and went CeramicSpeed. 5,000km in, can t complain.
