I'm about to order the triple veloce group from repartocorse.com

I have a question though. I can get handbuilt wheels from them for 90 bucks extra, built with DT swiss spokes and brass nipples, and FIR NET97 double walled rims. Or, i can pay 210 and get Campagnolo Scirocco wheels. What should i do?

I guess i can get no wheels and wait to see what i can scrounge up at the swap meet next weekend, but that's kinda risky.

I would say wait. If you can get a pair of Open Pros or something , those are probably comparable to the Scirccio(spelling?). I belive the Scirrcio use the G3 spoke lacing, similar to the Eurus, which supposedly makes it lighter and faster. I rode the Eurus and they were f*ing fast. But that could also be because I was on a Ghisallo.
