R84 X-lites are great, had them on 2 MCS and no problems. Also the 15" 7-holies have been excellant.
Don't scrimp on wheels, some of the "less expensive" wheels seem to be heavy and difficult to balance, or mount properly. Whatever you do, do not let the shops use an impact gun to tighten the wheel bolts. They have a tendency to overtighten the bolts making it difficult to get them back off without an impact tool. It can also force a wheel off center if it is not a hub-centric wheel, or is a hub-centric wheel that needs a spacer, or ring, to properly center it.
