Crest for that budget, Hoops, no point custom building. If you wanna spend a bit more get Alpines with Revolution spokes.0

Just bought hoops with crests from Merlin for 240 quids. Get them while the sale is on!

Im runnning Crest rims on pro 2's and they are very good, changed from some dt swiss x1800 and they are far stiffer giving far more confidence in the front end.
At 240 from Merlin they are an absolute bargain!!
Treat yourself in the january sale!0 -
If your budget can stretch, how about alexrims xcr rims? 50g lighter than the crests per wheel, and a quarter of the price of dt swiss carbon rims.0

crests all the way, incredibly versatile rims 0
