I did ask about upgrading the wheels and he said honestly the ones I have are entry level, but not bad at all. He says to upgrade to wheels with a noticeable performance difference, I'd be looking at about a 700 dollar pair. He reccomends keeping these for the type of riding I am doing. They are alexrims R450.
Yeh, durable wheels I think but relatively heavy. A strong benefit (I'm serious) is that you can replace them for $30-50 if you need to instead of hundreds.

But, before too long or after the winter I'd want to take the cones off and get some grease into the hubs.
