Can anyone recommend a wheel upgrade for a Roubaix?

My Roubaix Expert came with Ultegra WH6600 wheels. I was wondering if anyone could guide me as to a good upgrade, something lighter and stiffer?

    What sort of price?

    Campag Shamals/Fulcrum Zeros if you have a large budget.

    Campag Neutron Ultras/ Eurus/ Fulcrum 1 or 3 if your budget is slightly less.

    cool. Thanks. Those racing zeros are very nice looking wheels, and a lot lighter than my current ones!

    I may need to speak nicely to the bank manager.

    reddragon - do you know if the Fulcrum zeros will fit my Ultegra SL hub? The choices seem to be Campag or Dura Ace...

    I think they should be fine with any Shimano 10 speed cassette, but not 8 or 9 speed.

    Lower down the range, things like Easton EA90 and DT RR1450 would get you under 1500gms for about 400 quid.

    The racer bloke in my LBS rides Rolf Prima ELan Aeros, less than 1300gms
