32h wheel options besides Open Pro?
Inspired by all of the recent trigger-pulling, I'm about to score my own PT. It is laced to a 32h Open Pro. So I'm thinking maybe down the line some time I'll have it rebuilt on something a little less tank-like. What are some other 32h options? Anything decent in the semi-aero category? I'm currently running Fulcrum Racing 3s...

I may have seen another option(nudging toward sig line). AC sprint 350 is a little over 100g lighter than the open pro and more aero

+1 to the Aerohead (OC).
A little more aero would be the Fusion, and a lot more would be the Deep-V... but they're hardly less "tank-like"

Cool, thanks a lot guys. That gives me some options to chew on. Not sure when or even if I'll actually do this but just trying to think ahead a little. For the short term, the Open Pros can't be that bad (can they?)

open pros are the wheels by which all other wheels are judged.
I wish someone had told me this before I started buying stuff. If I knew then what I knew now, I'd own a set of open pros, a set of bling 60mm carbon wheels, and that'd be it.

How about Ambrosio? Their Excellence and new Excellight are supposed to be top notch.
