It really makes no difference. At all.

Note that by "fast" wheels, you mean wheels that don't slow you down as much, and you're not going to get much appreciable difference there unless you eliminate a lot of spokes, increase a lot of rim depth, or both. Outside of long climbs, the weight differences will have minimal impact (including acceleration, which is way overplayed).

When you say you spoke to psimet about wheels, I have a hard time believing that you told him about your list and he didn't have a better answer for you from his shop.

Also, what wheels are you training on now?
No, I didn't mean I need FAST wheels. I meant, I need wheels fast, as in quickly. I am going to purchase a set of 50mm carbons from him, but not just yet.

I did not give him this list. I'm gonna contact him now and let him know. Thanks for your response.
