If you are sure that you need/want a new wheelset I'd recommend looking at Psimet wheels, Rob is a member of BF, regular in the Road Forum, his wheels have been tested against the big name wheels by Velo and were very highly rated. Probably, my next wheelset will come from him. Take a look at his site, you can email him for a quote on exactly what you are looking for in a wheelset. He will let you know if others would be better for your needs, if he cannot help you.

PSIMET Custom Wheels

If you want to look at the big name wheels, Ribble has a bunch of different brands on sale right now.

A long time 50+ member, Stapfam, always told us to invest in handmade wheels, rather than a machine assembled, mass produced wheelset. The handmade wheels will have better tension on each spoke than the machine made ones. Right now I am still on the original Fulcrum Racing7 wheels on my CAAD 10, they have not required re-tensioning, or truing, in over 10,000 miles. Until the brake tracks are worn beyond safe use they will keep rolling under me. Ribble has them below 200.00 a set right now.
