Having never purchased road wheels other than what came on the bike, I was in Performance today and held a set of Forte Titans. Have heard some good reviews on them for an entry-level wheel. Lighter than I've felt before (for the price), and only 16 spokes on the front. Hard to believe that wheelset can withstand my 205 pound frame. Guy at the shop said it would, but would need close attention to the true.

I would still go with the Fulcrum. Are you being offered them for the same price?
