i have these wheels, they came stock on my cervelo soloist.
i like them a lot, but i should also say the only other wheels i've used have been the ones that come stock on a trek 1000. i have had no problems with the 550s after 2,000 miles. it'd be interesting to hear what someone says who has ridden on nicer wheels.

Take the stock wheels and save your money. The wheels that are going to provide a significant benefit are going to cost more than a few extra hundred.
With that bike, you're going to have all the fun you need to keep you occupied while you're saving for wheels. :)

You can always rent race day wheels for your A race and not have to worry about thrashing your good wheels all year long Just my .02 cents
If your going to do something wrong enjoy it.

Yep.....
I have the same bike but with DA, and it has the same wheels.
They are pretty darn good training wheels. They stay true, They are heavy, and They brake fairly well.
I have put over 2500 miles on my bike in the past few months. (350 just this past weekend for a fundraiser.) and they are still rolling well. I'm quite surprised actually.
It's a great bike. You'll love it.

I have been socking some money away for the last two years towards a Tri bike. I was in my LBS this past weekend and low and behold they had one 2008 Cervelo P2C 58cm frame (my size) left on the showroom floor. So to keep the complete bike in my price range, I'm sticking with the ultegra package and my only real concern is with the wheel set. They are Shimano 550s which leads me to two questions:
1. Does anyone have any opinion on these wheels - positive or negative?
2. I can't afford a set of Zips or Hed or any of the other 2k race wheels, so I'm stuck with "stock wheels" for the time being, but is there a decent set of wheels that may be a few hundred more that would make a big enough difference to make the step up?
