After all of the problems with the R-sys, I'm not tempted to use anything with fiber spokes. If you've got money to burn, look into a set of the new Zipp 404 Firecrest tubular or carbon clincher wheels. On flat roads, you won't notice the additional weight over the Topolinos or R-sys but you will notice the aero benefit.
Only 100 miles a week? thats 400 miles a month. 5200 miles a year. thats a LOT of mileage for a 255lb person that probably averages 15mph.
