I'm thinking I could spend anywhere around 500USD, unless that's the threshold and I can get something much better for a tad more.
I do think I'd like to be able to use them on the next bike too, but since the whole bike is around 900 bucks I would not want to go that high for those wheels. Later in my riding life, sure, but right now my riding skills and fitness level don't deserve amazing wheels on an entry level frame.
I found a set of those wheels for $1245 CDN on the Merlin website. They use Campagnolo's CULT ceramic bearings that they claim turn 9 times smoother, not faster, subtle difference: https://www.merlincycles.com/fulcrum...set-95332.html
In the same vein, wheels like the Campagnolo Zonda, a fine wheelset, can be found for considerably less: $497 CDN, well within your budget
