In that range I would go for the IRO cold fusion deals, They are nice light strong wheels, with nice hubs

what ever, it's your money, getting new parts is an addiction. It might be best to stick with the idea of spend when stuff breaks, but that rarely is the case, even though I wish I could do it.
and for the record. Alex 500 rims are good rims, well made, quite light and have a good rim profile. Pull the stickers off if you want a change, or rattle can them, lot's of threads in the BMX forums of how to do a good job at it. But throwing that cash at the wheels will offer no benefit. get a nice saddle, bar tape and pedals. with $200 you could get a set of toshi doubles, quad gate clips and still get a good saddle and new tape or bars. That will offer much more benefit to your experience than a wheelset that is actually a step down from your current set (except they are in a new colour! ohhhhhhh)

If you're not racing on the velodrome, then these wheels will be fine. Strong enough, comes in the colors/look that you want, all for a very reasonable price. Sure they might be a bit heavier, but really not that big of a deal for any casual rider. Get 'em and don't think twice.
