A decent carbon wheel set sets you back around $3000

Hand built, custom tubular sets could hit $10k not so long ago, but with carbon prices coming down in recent years, you would probably max out around $5-6k for a top end set. |
...and, with that, you just changed the uninformed opinion of this fat-ass novice. Couple grand I can digest... but $6k, $10k are numbers that will take you golfing in the Monterrey peninsula for a week. Does not compute in terms of bike wheels.
What about ebay sellers like carbonzone? Good ratings.
