Is this just for cruising around the city? Open Pro CD to Formula and then pocket the rest. Get them built by someone who actually knows what they're doing, because the build is more important than the parts.

You could buy my Cane Creek Track V wheels, I have for sale, for under the amount you want to spend and have $$ left over. It comes with all you need except a cog, but the front has a little play not noticed while riding. PM me if you're interested

Those rims are nice, but I honestly don't see the point in buying Phils aside from flash. Once you replace the locknuts, Formulas will do everything that Phils do. When it's time for new bearings, just get the Phils if you really notice that very very slight amount of extra drag.
Of course, this is a thread about looking flashy, so I guess they kind of fit in here.
At least have the decency to get the LF Phils if you do buy them.

White Industries ENO Fixed hubs laced to Open Pros or Velociy Aeroheads with Sapim Laser spokes. Lighter and faster than anything else mentioned here, but won't win you any points since its not Phil, DA, or Superbe Pro....

Thanks for the advice as well as the offers. Gyeswho those Cane Creeks look great, I may PM you later if I decide to buy wheels soon. At this moment I'm still weighing my options. Kinda tempted to look for some Spinergy Rev-Xs despite horror stories of breakages. I'm relatively light @ 145 so they should be OK..
