Hi guys, need some advice on what wheels I should get, my stock wheels miche pistard has a crack in the rim and need replacing.

I am about 90kg, new to velodrome racing, and planning on enter some events such as 250m and 500m TT, scratch and pursuit races. All my training and racing will be done indoor. My budget is 900usd max, I dont necessarily want to spend so much, but if it will make a big difference to my speed, I dont mind doing it.

The wheels I have in mind are:
Velocity Deep V with Formula Hubs. 209usd +100usd shipping (I live in Hong Kong)

Mavic Ellipse. 330usd Including Free Shipping.

FFWD F9T. 880usd Including Free Shipping.

I am leaning towards the first two options since they are much cheaper and from what I read expensive wheels are faster but not a huge difference that will affect the outcome in beginner races. I like the velocity wheelset since they used standard spokes and easier to repair etc. But the mavic is only 20 dollars more expensive and seems to offer better performance? What do you guys think I should get? And are there any wheelset that you think will be a good fit for me?

Thanks in advance
