I have never owned Spinergy wheels, but have heard negative comments about their reliability. Perhaps it has improved, but for what the Stealth costs, I think that there might be better choices.

Thanks for that. But what better options do you have in mind? 😕

When asking about wheel choices you will probably get as many opinions as people that you ask. I think that when plunking down several hundred bucks for a set of wheels, that they ought to last awhile and be able to stand up to more than just gentle TT use on smooth roads.
I would suggest Mavic Ksyrium or Campy (which are available in Shimano compatible freehub versions). Both brands have proven reliability with replacement parts available if needed. If you want to go big bucks, Zipp and Hed are good. Bontrager and Rolf, like Spinergy, have a mixed reputation for reliability.
If you are a "fat climber" and want a solid but fairly light wheel. You could get a set of custom wheels made with Dura-Ace, Record, Chris King or similar high quality hub with sturdy but fairly light rim like Velocity and high quality spokes such as Sapim CX-ray or DT revolution. Total weight would be in the 1600-1700gm/pair or so range and they would be very strong.
