[QUOTE=ketsana;16300225]My last 2 bikes, I had the LBS keep the stock wheels and give me a discount instead. On my Scott Addict, they gave me 900$ for the stock kysrium SLs. On my CAAD, they gave me $200 for the stock shimano wheels.

If you don't mind full carbon clinchers and don't ride your brakes on long switchback type decents, check out 2013 Reynolds Assaults(46mm, 1490g) or Attacks(32mm, 1410g) on Nashbar.com and wait for a 20% off coupon which usually happens on weekends. I got my attacks from them when they had a one day 25% off coupon. Note that they ARE 11spd compatible so keep that in mind when shopping for deals

I like the wheelset on the Scott, not a big fan of the "deep" look of the ones on the caad as why I wouldn't consider the Reynolds however I agree with what you say about how the Reynolds would "pop" on an all black frame. I might try a plain all black wheelset combo'd with some quality color tires or even gum walls for that retro look.
I'll do some shoppin around online see what deals I could find before talkin to my LBS about a wheelset discount. Thanks again.
