I have a question about wheels for an 08 530 exc.

I am looking for a second set of wheels to keep more street oriented rubber mounted on. Something like the tires the come on the adventure.

I am assuming I don't want to go to supermoto wheels because I don't want to have to change brake mounting points, gearing etc. I just want to be able to easily swap wheels so that if I am going to spend the day on the road (dirt or paved) I can have a better ride than I would with the normal non-DOT knobbies.

So, what is the best rim/hub combo for a reasonable price and do I need a cush hub?
