The person I bought it from replaced the stock wheels with racing wheels. I went on Bontrager's website and looked at similar-appearing racing wheels, but the cheapest one is around $200.

I don't mind spending $200 if it's worth it -but is one wheel that much better than another? How do I know by reading the description if a wheel is good or not? My LBS guy was saying you can get wheels of comparable quality for less $, but I don't know how to tell the quality of a wheel by reading the description.

What's the difference between a good wheel and a not-so-good wheel?
