First post here guys, looking for sound advice please.
Got myself a 2nd hand 2010 caad9 in the summer and love it. Thinking of upgrading the basic Shimano r500 wheels for around £500 but is it worth the money?
Looking through several forums it seems custom builds are the way to go (more wheel for your money), but again will £500 be enough money to make a noticeable difference?
Sorry if i'm repeating the same old question, could use pointing in the right direction.
Any advice appreciated!

Yes £500 should get you a far better pair than the r500's. I went for custom built but plenty on here swear by some of the factory options such as fulcrum racing 1's or the Mavic Ksyrium Elite.0

Yes.
If you get on with it, then you can turn it into a sweet competitive machine with upgraded components as the frame is spot on for amateur racing.0
