I need stiffer wheels

Every time I sprint in my "race" wheels, I'm reminded of just how whippy they are.

They are Mike Garcia specials:

Front rim: Nimble spider (28H)
Front hub: speedcific
Front spokes: DT revo

Rear rim: Velocity aerohead (28H)
Rear hub: DT Swiss 240
Rear spokes: DT revo

Total weight without skewers - ~1450g

I lost a race yesterday by 0.04 seconds and the wheels were whipping all over the place at the end. They aren't out of true.

I need stiffer wheels that are comparably light. I'm not especially concerned about them being aero or carbon. Any recs?
