The EA90 SL is pretty much the obvious choice. Go for the Reynolds or the Mavics if you want some bling but from the price/perf standpoint, the Eastons stand out.
At this point, I'm just kibitzing. The Easton EA90 SLs are clearly the wheels I need.
I might go with the SLXs, though. I've seen reports from several larger guys who haven't had problems with them and I'm a closet weight-weenie. For the price, they're damn near as disposable as the Neuvations... Assuming they don't fail catastrophically, I can always tune them up and sell them to somebody lighter if they don't work out.
The Attacks are attractive because I've always wanted to try carbon rims and I can't imagine finding a better deal on them anytime soon. Probably just a bit too much bling for me, though.
