If you want new, Shimanos are on sale at a few places, Reynolds as well. Both companies have wheels ranging for four or more a set but I've seen the R560 set for UNDER two per pair Reynolds for even less. Some maintain "good hand builts" are the way to go ,I'd diagree, given your criteria. Traditional spoked are fine but MORE $$ and heavier. If you want to lighten the bike as well as a low rotationl-weight,that's how you'll do it. The two I stated ARE hand-built actually,just not custom-built to order. Custom hand-built,high-spoke count traditional wheels are strong, preferable for a heavy-weight. I don't believe they're so much stronger anyway,even if they were, who cares,make a more meaningfull improvement if you're to bother at all. Ussually e-bay has stuff, weak selection in wheels the past week, if you take into account the risk of the non-perfect wheel factor.
