new wheels for SWMBO, recommendations needed please!

[T1berious]

My Mrs got a Cannondale Synapse 6 last year, it was a cautious toe in the water to see if she could a) get into road biking and b) not hate road biking with a passion.

Anyway, much to her surprise (she's an avid MTB'er) she not only got on with it but actually enjoys it (appreciating the fact on a road bike you can just go do it rather than load up car, drive an hour, unload car, hit trail, come back, wash bike, you get the drift....) so I think it's time she got some decent wheels as the ones that came with the Synapse are at best functional and I think is one of the heaviest items on the bike.

Can you recommend me a nice factory wheelset? budget is <£600 and has to be clinchers.

Really looking for something quite lightweight but able to take a battering as SWMBO is allergic to any bike cleaning or maintenance of any kind.....

Cheers

I'll look into the mavics, as I've got some Krysium SL's that have lasted me years

IT's mainly to lighten her bike and nowt against Usegets wheels (ta for the offer!) but I'd rather say "there you go love, brand new wheels! That's lightened up your bike a treat eh?" and barely within the space it takes to draw breath, I'll cautiously mention "About that Cervelo for next season....."
