it's very possible that the wheels you are looking at come with spoke wrenches because they are some proprietary nipple, and not necessarily because they will go out of true. a lot of people on the forum seem to be happy with low-spoke-count wheels, but i tend to be cautious, using no less than 28/32 front/rear. i'm not particularly heavy (~160 out of shape) but i like the idea of being able to limp home if i break a spoke or wreck the rim.
