more knowledgable people than I have recommended against getting wheels from Performance or Nashbar as they are machine built. (Not hand built.)

If you buy from one of those vendors (or anyone who doesn't say their wheels are handbuilt) it is advisable to then have your wheels detentioned and retentioned by an LBS you trust. (I believe this is about $20 if you are doing price comparison.)

I got my Mavic OPs on Ultegra hubs from Excel. They were billed as hand built.
