My advice would be to buy some good wheels. Crap wheels will always be crap wheels, particularly if they are 10+ years old. You could probably buy some new or good used Ultegra or 105 - Open Pro wheels for a reasonable price that would save you a lot of grief over time. I picked up a set of used Ultegra/OPs this summer for $150 and you can find new sets for $250-300 if you shop around.
