Has any ever or do rent race wheels

Thinking about doing that instead of spending thousands on a set I might not like. Any pros and cons with doing so.

It's a great, cost effective option. Especially if you don't race all that often....

Renting is a viable option, but a decent race wheel setup does not have to cost "thousands." For a few hundred you can usually find a good used front and a disc cover for the rear.

I've rented a couple times and saw nothing wrong with it. I went to the local LBS, and for $50 they put a pair of Specialized Tri Spokes on the bike with my cassette. I went in and had the wheels installed the Wed of race week and then returned by Tues after the race. Cost $50.

I figured I could rent those for quite a while before coming close to owning my own set of wheels...

Why not?
