Well it goes to follow that if you want better wheels than you want to be a better rider. And for what you can currently spend, there are other ways to get faster. There's no buying your way into performance. We know nothing about you. Are you a newbie who thinks if they spend x amount of money they can get x amount of performance, or someone who has enough miles under the belt where equipment upgrades would actually be meaningful?

Now we know you at least have some miles in your legs. Snarky responses are a result of asking open ended questions while providing minimal, if any details about yourself and what you want to do.

My answer remains the same - depending on your current rims. Are they deep rims already? If so, just ride them and keep saving up for a nice set of wheels. If not, get some aero rims with the same spoke count as your current hubs and the correct length spokes and have them laced up to existing rims.
