If you are looking at the Bontrager wheels that are almost a copy of the Rolf Vector Pro wheels buy them. I have 2 sets of Rolf Vector Pros and they are very strong and light and they stay straight. The Bontragers may even be a little lighter than the Rolf's.:)

I forgot to ask what bikes are you looking at?

not too impressed with the bontragers on my mtb, but they are different than road wheels I suppose.

Lance is sponsored by Bontrager but used tubular Ksyrium SSC SL's and Lightweight carbons in the last TDF and other races.

Bontrager came out with Ksyrium copies this year...wonder why?

Bontrager Selects came on my wife's new bike and I am jelious of her. I like them lots. They are strong and pretty light. The front has more of an aero rim than the rear. They look cool too. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the Mavics. Tho I hear good things.
