You don't "need" another set of wheels. I expect you would do ok with your current ones year-round.

But....it is worth considering. I have a set of 50mm CF wheels. I don't even put them on until May and they come off in October. They do NOT get ridden in windy conditions, which is why I use shallow aluminum hoops for the off season through May because of the wind.

If you live in an area where it's almost never windy in the summertime that makes life easier so you don't have to fuss with switching brake pads more than twice/year.
