(Lately I have come to recommend soul or Boyd wheels). Some cheaper options is to swap out your stem and seat post. My buddy just got a cad 10 and his stem and seat post seem to be fairly heavy. Between those 3 options, wheels, bottle cages and stem/post, I would say that would he a good start. Later you can look into a lighter crank set, maybe different bars too. Would say saddle also, but if it works for ya then stick with it.
I picked up some http://www.neuvationcycling.com/ wheels and I like them, they take a beating on my 20 mile commute ever day. I also have ran over some stuff and are still true, great wheels for the price. This is a great thread
