Default affordable racing wheels

has anyone got an opinion on racing wheels for club racing.
looking for an affordable wheelset that will do the job.
Question is. Will the shimano r550 do the job or is there another wheelset in a similar price range that is better.

Why not have some made up for you. Mavic open pro rims with Ultegra hubs, wouldn't be much more than the R550's.
