On my Comp it came with DT Swiss 3.0's which aren't great. I immediately upgraded to some NOS wheels that I got off EBay. But like anything 10 speed, the price has come down quite a bit since 11 speed came out. Personally I have no desire or need for 11 speed so I'm happy to take advantage of the lower prices. The Expert model comes with the 4.0 wheels but again, I've not read many glowing reviews of these DT Swiss wheels. They will be good enough but may not be what you're wanting later down the road.
