I'm looking for a new set of wheels for my bike, I only weigh 130lbs. so they don't have to be beastly. I don't want to spend more than $400, I would prefer something light, although 50g. either way is not going to make that much of a difference on my bike. Also, as frivolous as it may be, I would like a wheel set that looks good.

Thanks,
Kealer

Sorry, I'll be training and racing. I'm not that hard on wheels, and I'm not using my bike for time trials (I borrow other people's =D) so they should be fairly well rounded.

I rest my case then. Most wheels are well-rounded.

Or they should be...

IMO, Eastons EA-70's meet your criteria. They're the updated Circuits - 1650g's, $450, but if you watch for sales you can find them for under $400. Nashbar just had a 20% off deal.

Neuvation R28 SL5

I have these wheels and really like them. 1470grams and $330 bucks for the set. Great Deal. I'm a light rider as well (145lb). I did remove some of the ugly stickers though. Just click on the banner above to go to Neuvation's website. Good customer service as well.

+1. Excellent choice.

Take a look at these as they are also highly rated and within your price range.

A little pricier than you specified but very excellent wheels. Look at System 19's.

At 130 pounds, Dura Ace or Ultegra, 28/28 will be fine. Open Pro black or CD would look nice. 15/16 front and back, 2X front, 3X back.

I am 145lbs and have both Ksyrium sl's and Dt Swiss RR1450. Picked up the Dt's used in your price range $400, I don't think they had been ridden. Ksyriums came as a hand me down from a 180lb rider who rode them 4 years and they are still holding up very well. If you have the time search for the right used set. I like both wheels. Both are good on climbs and sprints and comfortable for 100 milers. Both have bladed spokes. I prefer the Dt's because they are not as affected by cross wind and can be rebuilt with parts that are readily available; whereas everything on the Mavic's is proprietary. The Ksyriums are more eye catching though...
