Thanks for the replies. I suppose another question is.. Whats up the deep-vs. They seem to be more extruded than most other wheels.. Not sure I love that look.. Is it a style or necessity in relation to the road? As for the ellipse, I probably won't be racing anytime soon.. Definitely don't need another bike related injury

Is it safe to say that if you get a decent hub and rim.. A bike shop will take care of the rest?
