Why not figure out what is causing the wheel to click and fix it? Most of the causes can be fixed. One that can't is when there is a small shard of rim trapped on the inside of the rim. That often happens with Open Pros. It's not very loud but it is noticeable.

Besides the click, open pros also tend to crack at the spoke holes, even though they have eyelets. They also make weaker wheels than a deeper "aero" rim does. I'm not a fan and after going through four of them won't be buying another.

Performance ultegra + open pros are still a reasonable deal as long as you understand that the hubs will last far longer than the rims. And that Performance sells an assembled wheel kit, not a fully tensioned and stress-releived wheel. You have to do those things yourself. And also Performance will gouge you on the shipping. You may be able to escape that by having them shipped to a nearby Performace store.
