LINK"Spokes are DT/Swiss Aerolite, semi-bladed stainless steel in a two-cross with Alloy Pro Lock hex-pattern aluminum nipples. The spare-no-expense wheels begin with ceramic-bearing-equipped DT hubs that use Shimano's CenterLock splined brake-rotor interface. The XRC 330 rim designates its 330-gram weight, and is simply gorgeous to the eye, with its woven carbon topcoat and trademark red-and-white DT graphics. Add DT/Swiss' new titanium-skewer, ratcheting quick-release system and the XRC wheels will cost you a cool, $3300. Yes, the cost of being a bike snob has just gone up."

Nice one Edge! And you have 2300USD spare or 650USD if you want half price as I quote ;D What do we buy to lower it for that 650USD honestly don't know what else to change. unless maybe get 28h version of the hubs and lose 25g changing the rims to ztr race may lose you around 100-150g more but stiffness will suffer.
