I'm thinking of getting a cheap but not too cheap wheel set. This would likely be traded between two bikes with 32c tires, in the short term, and might get used later for a CX-commuter build. So I want it to be forward-compatible, so to speak, with an 11-speed hub.

The Vuelta Corsa HD's are handbuilt, 36h, ~2400 grams, very inexpensive, and look to be built like a brick s---house. With Nashbar's President's Day sale the price is very right. I'm not skinny and one of the bikes would be my Super Sport full-dress commuter, so the weight rating is something I'm keeping in mind. But it's basically a store brand, right? I'd love to try the much lighter - like nearly two pounds lighter - Veulta Corsa Lites, and they're in my budget, but I'm not sure how smart it would be. They have no published weight rating.

I also found a set at Niagara made of name brands parts - CXP22 rims and 5800 hubs, 32H. They would be a couple hundred grams lighter. But they're from Wheel Smith which I believe means they'll be machine built, with little guarantee.

Thoughts?
