I've heard good things about the Planet X wheels, although I've never ridden them. If race wheels end up being bought this year there is a good chance I'll go with them.
I don't know of a great site for comparison reviews of tons of wheels, though.

Disk for $500? Go with a Renn. And it's NEW.
so many options...................
Aero wheels there are several options. You''ve got:
Zipp 404,606,808,909,999
Hed 50's,60's,90's. I really like the 60/90 combo
Blackwell 50's, 100's, or 50/100 combo, , 50/82, 50/100
Planet X 50's, 82's, 101's 82/101 combo
Those are some of the most popular (atleast the first 3. Planet X is somewhat just making their way onto the scene in the wheels department)
Zipp being the expensive one, the other 3 are about the same price. roughly $500 cheaper for corresponding rim depth.
I really like the Spinergy Stratus DV wheels in fact. I rode them for a few months about 1 year ago in training and racing for CA 70.3 and they were really bomb proof. I put about 100-120 miles a week and never had any problems with them at all.

roadbikereview.com is kind of hit-and-miss for its reviews, but it's the best site I've found as far as being the most comprehensive. I don't find it particularly great, but it's the best I've seen. As far as buying used wheels, I've always had great luck with ebay. I bought an Xlab disc last year for $350 and Mavic Cosmic Carbone for a bit over $300. Right now ebay is a little empty of aero wheels, but it's worth a shot. Within the next few months as tri season starts back up more people will be selling their stuff, so if you don't find something right away, just be patient.

I 2nd the Neuvations. I just bought a pair of m28 Aero's also as my race/training wheels. I know some of the people here will say that they aren't aero enough for race wheels but compared to my stock alx200's they are worlds better.
All I have to do is slap on a disc cover on the rear and it's up to par with a lot of other setups.

Ok I am looking to use my old Gispemme wheels (that came on the cannondale ironman I have) on just the trainer and maybe even training rides from here on out. I am going to look for some decent aero wheels to buy when I am racing and/or out on the road if necessary. Can any one reccomend a good site to get info on what kind of wheels are out there and maybe reviews? I know about the normal Zipp and Sinergy and stuff but I was just looking for anything I am missing.
I'm not looking for a disc wheel right now just because I want something I can pick up used for under 500.
Anyways any input would be great.
