Well, look around on this forum, you'll see the overwhelming advice is, don't get Ksyriums.

Beyond that, it all depends, lots of nice factory-built wheels out there. However, if you have a good LBS nearby, you should look into getting a set of custom-built wheels. You pick the hubs, the rims, the spokes, and you can often get a better wheel for the money.

P.S.: But, yes, the Williams seem to be decent wheels, a lot better than the Ksyriums, at about half the price.
