Strong enough, light enough, cheap enough. You can have those three together and those Nashbar wheels look pretty good for that. You'd have to spend a lot more to get significantly stronger and/or lighter based on the specs. For example, my hand-built commuter bike wheels are a whopping 30 grams lighter (but 32 spoke 3 cross front and rear with a disc front hub) but cost almost twice as much.
