Wheel question...

Before someone busts my balls ... yes I did a search

Heres the situation, I scored an older Nishiki Olympic 12 for barely anything and its actually in really awsome shape for the age an price. I realize the bike is a low end frame, however I also realize I have to many other hobbies to blow big money on something truly exotic or nice. This being said ... I have a real appreciation for quality and a well built product which its current wheels are not.

Heres what I'm looking for:

Cheap but not cheap... I'm looking for the best balance of price vs. quality, airing on the side of quality
flip/flop for a free wheel cause my knees are junk from hockey and need a break every now an then
Under 200

So far I looked at the nashbar deal with the formula hibs an weinmann rims however, I han't hear much feedback on the rim quality an I also heard the wheels were not asembled to spectacular

I aslo was looking at the Mavic/formula set up from greatdealsonbikes.com for 135

After that, I was questioning the some of the IRO/Harris wheelsets, but the proucts were similiar to the ones above, I'm not sure if the builup outways the price difference.


thanks ahead of time
