Not a lot really.
Ebays a good place to buy stuff, but be careful sometimes it ends being a pile of rubbish.
If you want to make a difference regarding wheels, then I suggest you look at racing 3s or Mavic Kysriums, but for the winter use the standard wheels.

The cheaper Vuelta models (e.g. Starlite, Zerolite) are good if it's factory-built wheelsets you're after. I've got a pair of Zerolites for road riding and TTing on, and they've been really good so far - now 2 years old and still trouble-free. Weight is around the same as Aksiums (about 1.9kg), but price is about 15-20 quid cheaper.

The R5s are £135 from DHCyclesport and, after you add the £15 postage, it's cheaper to go to your LBS who should knock at least 10% off the list price if you ask nicelyrobklancs wrote:just had a look, 100 quid on ebay with dh cyclesport.
