Is there a translation from NJ-Gibberish to standard American English?

Sorry but i tried to use phone....not good.
Need new wheels but not sure the $ is well spent. What is the cost per gram ratio for an upgrade to basic sealed hubs from my loose ball bearings. Most cheaper wheels seem to be close in weight offer very little in weight savings....$300 seems to be the magic # to get a decent lighter wheel. Is there a good deal to be had. or do even cheaper sealed bearings just make like better.
Curious so sorry for the prior fiasco

After reading that first post, and then seeing this to match my reaction, just made me :lol: at my desk at work for some reason.
