wheels

I'm partial to my Mavic Ksyrium SLs but they are about twice what you want to spend. I've found the 07 Ksyrium Elite wheelset at bikeradar.com for 624.

They also have some DT swiss E 2200 wheels for 590 which are snazzy looking, and I know DT Swiss are excellent wheels.

I also have the Ksyrium SLs and they are bombproof. If you shop carefully, you can probably find a set of Elites for $500.

I have also been coveting Shimano's tubeless (not tubular) wheelset, which you can also use as a clincher wheel. Last year's model WH-7801-SL can be found on ebay for about your budget. The drawback is that the hub is 10-speed only, so if you're running a 9-speed set up these won't work.

Neuvation advertises a lot on roadbikereview. Their spiel is that they sell direct, so the wheels are cheaper. I've never seen someone complain about them and the reviews are good.

Go with DT's... great product and reasonable price. I have the DT RR1850's and they are awesome. They are very cool looking too... so you get style points too

What wheels do you have?

Ksyrium Elites would be no better than what came stock on my Roubaix. Maybe the '09s are a bit lighter than previous years, but I wouldn't buy them, personally.

What are you looking for in the upgrade? Losing weight? Aero rim? Stiffness? Easy acceleration? Durability?
