Dont get a cheap wheelset!
If your on a budget try the EigthInch Amelias
http://eighthinch.wordpress.com/2010...and-free-gift/
they come complete for $99 free shipping. I can say they are strong enough for curb hopping and potholes!
Also you should check out www.velomine.com

I fell victim to purchasing a $115 Tec9 Deep V wheelset about 3 years ago.....I regret buying cheap wheels to this day. You get what you pay for, The metal shavings from when the spoke holes were drilled still remained in the rim? Needless to say I found out why my flats were only on the inside surface on my tubes. Also the spokes make crunching noise to this day. As for fancy tricks...Get a bmx bike... or spend over $300 on a Very good wheelset that can handle the jumps, endos, bunny hops, etc. Hope this helps.
