Get some Formula hubs, stainless steel spokes by DT Swiss or Sapim. Have the wheels built in 3-cross pattern by a reputable builder and you're good to go. All the way to the liquor store to spend the rest of that $500 on beer.

Yea, because a 520g rim wasn't heavy enough, he should buy a 650g rim. Sheesh, talk about a boat anchor. Two of those rims are almost as heavy as my road bike wheelset! Why not just get a nice, light rim that won't make you hate life?
