Williams System 19 wheels are also pretty reasonable in price; just over your $500 budget if you have to pay for shipping.
The OP is a 57 recreational rider. He doesn't need 1400g wheels lol. Honestly, the Open Pros with the ultegra hubs is plenty for the bike he has and the type of riding he is doing. Plus they are pretty solid in terms of durability.

Or Aksiums, which are also heavy wheels but pretty much bombproof.
