I have been looking at Velomine for a set because I'm hoping to spend under 250$ for it all.

I have been looking at Velocity B43s, but I am reading from some people that that are very heavy. Will it be something super noticeable moving from stock Alex 6000 wheels to the B43s with formula hubs? Any other suggestions if the B43s aren't the best I can get within my budget? Thanks!
Will they make a difference over your stock wheels? Yeah, your bike will be much heavier, climbing will be more of a chore and you'll quickly learn to hate the wind.

B43s suck and weigh a ton, which is why Velocity stopped making them last year.
