How about a nice, lightweight set of inexpensive alloy wheels?

Yes, I've heard conflicting reports about reduced brake performance in rainy conditions, thanks for sharing.
Apparently, as already pointed by
slow rollin, the pads need to be specifically rated for use with carbon. That "should" resolve the issue, however I myself cannot comment. Can you confirm?
I spent a lot of time finding the cheapest but lightest bike/frame possible, so I want to add the maximum amount of value/performance by getting CF wheels.
