I bought a decent set from Velomine for around $170. Shimano 105 hubs and Mavic Open Sport rims, they have been good wheels. Cassettes are the way to go, they are a big improvement over freewheels for a number of reasons.
They have some less expensive sets for around $120, sun rims and formula hubs I think.
