If you're looking for a 2nd set of "racier" wheels then for budget hoops look at the Prime wheels from Chain Reaction. Two years back I spent about $700 Cdn on some 50mm dish that included tires and tubes and they've been quite amazing. MUCH MUCH better than my previous racing Mavic's (bladed spokes) in every sense, particularly dealing with crosswinds.
Are these high quality wheels? I am looking for a second set of wheels for my new bike to go with my road tires when I put my gravel tires back on the OEM wheels.
