I do weekday rides of about 20 miles (1 hour lunch) and Saturday rides between 40 and 50 miles. My pace averages around 19 mph. I've looked at what Performance and Nashbar have but I don't really know what I should be looking for as there are many options to choose from. The LBSs all specialize in a specific brand (i.e. Trek/Bontrager) so they're advise is limited to that. So, I ask you all, what's a decent wheelset that would give a noticeable performance boost without breaking my bank? I'm thinking I can spend up to $600. I realize that limits my choices but times are tough. For that amount, is it even worthwhile upgrading? I've never ridden anything but stock wheelsets on any bike so I don't have any experiene to fall back on.

Thanks!
