Add the $80 difference to your Kilo budget and you still can't really get better wheels unless you add another $100 to look at DA/Phil wheelsets. In the end the Wabi's are comparatively more associated with the inexpensive budget wheelsets than the higher-end DA/Phil wheelsets. So the question I am poking at is if you think the Rush is $80 better than the Kilo, because I feel that the Wabi's are in the same boat as every other forumla/novatec hubbed rim in the game.
