Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Wiggle's propriety brand, Cosine, has some good options. 55mm for $760; can't really beat that.

Check these out. I have a set and like them. Deepest and widest alum set I know of, have to search to find them on clearance somewhere tho. I picked mine up for $200. I wasn't sure about Chinese carbon either

I bought a set of Chinese carbon aero wheels to train on over the winter. I have about 6000km on them now and I have to say I'm pleased with the quality. For every one failure you hear about, there are probably about 5000 success stories. It's usually just the problems that get posted on the Internet though.
