They have bladed spokes and cartridge bearings, which I was particularly pleased about, since I have 'taken a shine' to ceramic bearings, and have converted all sets over. I have two sets with grade3 and three with grade5. The grade three set increased my 'rollout' distance about 250ft on the same hill. I highly recommend the Elites, with or without the ceramic conversion!
+1 And....I looked at the Fuji web site and the team bikes have a lot of options so it is not clear which wheel you have now. If these are the cheaper, heavier stock wheels which an LBS will give you a $150 credit for if you upgrade to a better wheel set at time of purchase, then the Mavics will be a nice upgrade. If you already have upgraded wheels because you purchased a higher end team bike, then upgrading is not going to offer much performance improvement, if any. But having an extra set of nice wheels is one of life's pleasures.
