Sugestions???Race wheels for Hawaii.

I recently qualified for my first Hawaii IM and I'm curious about what
type of race wheels would be best. I'm concerned about the cross winds
I often hear about. I know I have quite some time until race day, but
with Christmas around the corner I might want to drop my husband some
hints!

Also, since it will be my first Hawaii experience, any advice/tips
would be appreciated.
