I am very new to cycling. I jsut bought my first road bike ever and am looking to upgrade my wheels. My bike is a 2008 Fuji Newest 3.0 and it came with Alex rims. The guy at the LBS told me the rims were good enough but I would likely want to upgrade them (along with the derailleurs ..Sora).
I don't have a whole lot of money to spend on new wheels but just wanted yoru suggestions so I could start looking. If It matter, I really like the way the wheels look that have fewer spokes.

cheers and thanks in advance for you help.
