Open Pros are a great wheel for the money- BUT and I do mean BUT, you can go with Torelli Master Series that is identical to the Open Pro and may be a tad lighter but are about $20 per wheel less; and use DT Competition and alloy nips or Sapim bladed spokes and their nipples.

One thing I did find was at Nashbar, they sell a wheel called the Velocity Spartacus and the price is cheap-BUT what I do not know is if it's a good wheel. I would say that if a person wanted these to go with the wheels made for heavy people just to make sure they would hold up. Click around to get the rear wheel and look at the close up picture to see if it's something you might want. Also wait for someone here to respond concerning these wheels they may be junk or they may be one of those good "sleeper" wheels.
