    I really like the Fulcrum Racing 5s. Not the lightest (but still 1.7kg) but very robust and reliable. I am heavier than you (97kg) and have no issues with them at all. Currently on offer all over the place at your budget.

    Road - Wilier Izoard Centaur/Cube Agree C62 Disc
    Allround - Cotic Solaris

    At the budget you state they will all generally be training wheels. This does not make them bad.

    'Race' wheels are lighter and cost a lot more than £200. Then you start with Aero wheels, climbing wheels etc etc. depending on your use/requirements.
