Race wheels for IMTX

Let's say for the sake of arguement that I could afford to rent race wheels for IMTX.  What does the $200 get me?  An easier ride?  Speed? Comfort?

Would YOU do it?

Sorry if this has been covered.

    You don't have power right? $200 will probably get you ZIPP 808 Carbon Clinchers from Race Day Wheels. Actually they quoted me $150 for the set for IM CDA. You will be faster. By how much, well I guess that is debatable. Zipp says the 808 saves 7.2 minutes. Now that is for certain speeds, wind angles, etc. Also, I'm not sure if you have both a front and rear that means you save 14.4 minutes. But it will certainly help. My opinion.

    $200 would be better spent on an aero helmet.

    Negative on the power. Gotta get that after IMTX.

    I'll pretend I have enough money for wheels AND an aero helmet. image
