I haven't heard of HIFI wheels. What exactly are you looking for in a replacement set of wheels anyway? Light? Aero? Durable? Inexpensive? Where do these rank in a new wheelset?
What I'm looking for is something lighter than the stock wheels I'm replacing. I don't want to sacrifice durability, but I'm hoping that I can get wheels that will provide a noticeable improvement over what I'm used to without being terribly delicate. Aero wheels aren't important to me as I'm not a fast rider, and they don't have to be the cheapest wheels out there -- I'm sure I can't get a noticeable improvement in performance with cheap, heavy wheels.
As it turns out, I'll find out soon enough about the HiFi wheels -- I ordered a set of Mixtape SLs and they should be ready in about a week.
