A lot of the local racers use Industry Nine wheels or Crank Brothers Cobalts.

You don't have to be great to get started, but you do have to get started to be great. -Lee J. Colan
I have a set of the Industry Nines that i got as a bday present from DH last year (yes, I am spoiled). These are NOT inexpensive, but the ARE light and have been great for racing and riding. Mounted studded tires to them this winter for ice/snow riding and didn't have a problem.
I REALLY wanted the ones with pink spokes, but that was out of my price comfort zone, so I have the black.

+1 for Industry Nine
I switched from the stock DT Swiss-es that came on my bike to the I9 Ultralites and went tubeless at the same time: dropped a pound off each wheel. My riding, yes, improved dramatically.
And that hub! Oh my goodness, the engagement is instantaneous.
They are *not* cheap, but I have never never never regretted the purchase.
-- gnat! (the pink spokes make you go faster, too)
