vuelta zerolite track wheels
 

Anyone have any experience with these wheels I've found reviews of some the others... looks like a decent deal for a beater bike.

I think you'd be better off with a set of Weinmanns with sealed Formula hubs from Velomine for only a few bucks more:

I've been commuting on these since last August, though i got mine on bikeisland. I don't know how heavy they are, probably heavy-ish, but they haven't gone out of true or popped spokes or anything, and I was even irresponsible and never tensioned the spokes before using them.

I'm not sure there's any appreciable difference between the Vuelta rims and DP18s, and I am fairly certain the hubs are unbranded Formula low-flange hubs.

The low-flange hubs pictured on the Nashbar wheelset (Formula or otherwise) aren't sealed. For 15 bucks more, I'd rather have sealed hubs.

i have a set of zerolites laying around that i used to ride...

That makes sense, then.

So are Weinmann DP18s... but, like Scrod said, the sealed Formulas are worth the extra cash.

Or - if the OP wants something with a little less weight/girth, there's always Sun M13s to Formulas for $125:

i really think that's probably the best wheelset under 200 bones

I agree and have nothing but good experience with mine.
