    Probably not worth upgrading. Just run them into the ground and replace when worn out. Save your money for the new bike purchase.

    You have the perfect wet weather wheels, why change.

    If you want new lighter wheels. Velocity A23 front rim, velocity A23 off centre rim rear on Miche hubs laced with Sapim Double butted spokes like the Lasers or Race spokes depending on your weight. Spoke count of 28 on the front and 32 on the rear work well for most. If you are very light less spokes could be used but if you are 100+kg pls a 36 spoke rear wheel and a 32 spoke front would be good. Miche hubs come with campagnolo 9/10/11 speed hubs.

    Your current wheels are fine though.
