For the money, you could have had the existing wheels retrued. They look like high spoke count wheels better suited to NYC conditions.
Best yet would be to true and tension your existing wheels on your own. Did you give up after just one try? It isn't hard, but it is if you abandon so quickly.
Still, you have them, so put them on and ride light, when they go out of true, use your tools and fix them yourself.
