I'm a fan of the Forte' brand from Performance. They're a great value.

I currently run the Titan wheelset. I paid $140 for the set. They are $300 regularly, but are on sale all the time. I've been relatively happy with them. They are a low spoke count wheelset, so once you blow a spoke, you have to get off and walk. I blew two spokes on the rear wheel, right at the drive side hub. One was at 2k miles and the other was at 3k miles. They replaced the rear wheel for a new one and I've gotten almost 1k miles out of them with no issues.

My next wheelset will be the Forte' Apollos. They're a normal spoke count wheelset that can be had for ~$200 on sale.
