Just get them trued/TENSIONED by someone who is 1/2 competent. Keep the bearings serviced and the wheels should last 1000's of miles. You don't have a brake track to wear out, so what's to go wrong?

$100-150 /wheel isn't that much of an "upgrade" IMO, unless you build it yourself.
Spend your money on tools and learn to maintain the bike yourself. That will result in a much "sweeter" ride.
