The right answer is going to the European sites and finding the best price you can for a set of
Campagnolo Zonda's or Fulcrum Racing 3's! If you wait around a month or so and keep checking someone will put them on sale. I've probably picked up 1/2 dozen sets over the years in the $300+ range. Light and bulletproof.
