I looked at these before I bought the Ksyrium Elites. The price was attractive, but they aren't fully machined and the spokes were not the same as the higher priced Ksyrium wheels. IMHO, Mavic came out with them so that bike manufacturers could put "Ksyrium Wheels" in their advertisements for nicer road bikes. I'd look at a set of Open Pro or CXP22 (33s if you can afford them) before I'd buy the Equipe model.
Let me add that the Ksyrium Elites are outstanding. I don't regret buying them for one minute.

OTOH, i won my first collegiate circuit race and got second in a crit on heavy-ass 32H alex 22 front & ksyrium equipe rear, so even then, it's not gonna hold you back.

WH-R500 are garbage.
that said, ride them until they break, then buy some good wheels.

i was going to say they are on the heavy side but since you wont race, it's fine. there are other brands out there that are lighter for the same price range.

My rear is out of true after 2 months of use. I weight 185lb though. My friend has mavic aksium and they are 30% cheaper and seem lighter.

sounds about right. the aksiums are about the same weight. i only got mine b/c i blew both of my rims (shimano 561) and the lbs only had the equipes in stock. fwiw, i'm 158lbs and had a good 2000 miles on them before they were knocked out of true in a crash
