There are people that actually believe the gunman was on the grassy knoll, the moon landing was filmed in a studio sound stage in California and Simple Green dissolves a bicycle chain. There was one lunatic that actually believed you could ride a Campagnolo UltraTorque Hirth joint crankset with a 1 MM 'air gap' separating the crank spindle halves.
$360 or so...Mavic Ksyrium Equipe's. Even less money, Mavic Aksium or Aksium Elite's around $200-$250 respectively.
All three are very good wheels for racing or training that will provide you a noticeable weight reduction without being overkill for the rest of the bike. Maintenance is simple, durability is good and I think you will notice faster spin-up and perhaps climbing a little easier.
If you can swing a grand, the Cosmic Carbon Pro's are just a little bit lighter, but offer much improved aero quality.

So, you've been hitting the eggnog, again!
OR, is your apparent inability to discern that 145.5 is a larger number than 144.5 a byproduct of our post-War educational system?!?
That is, if MY Ultra Torque crank's Q-Factor is 144.5mm and YOUR's is 145.5mm then you are the one whose crank has the additional 1.0mm!
That is, you are the one who is apparently riding around with a
Hirth Coupling "with a 1 MM 'air gap' separating the crank spindle halves."
Think about it.
