We have had a great many wheel discussions on the "old" forum. I and others are a fan of a good set of hand built wheels as being the most bang for your buck. They are not as sexy to look at but they will be relatively bombproof, easy to true when needed, and easy to repair if needed. I have two sets of Velocity Aeroheads (the same essential rim Cane Creek uses) with Chris King Hubs. I love Chris King Hubs. That said I purchased a pair of the Dura-Ace 7700 wheels and I've been very happy with them. They have stayed true and they look nice. I don't notice any significant performance difference. I got mine for a $150 from a Saturn team member selling off parts. That makes them really easy to like. I like the ride and they do accelerate and climb well.
K's are well received and usually trouble free from what has been said. The negative comment is a harsh ride. Folks with Topolinos like them. The only negative I remember was the rear hub giving some problems to one or more I don't remember. People really like their ride.
