The lightest wheels will not necessarily be the most aerodynamic. Deep section carbon wheels are heavier than ultralight climbing hoops, but have a far improved aerodynamic capacity.

Putting a pair of Ksyrium Elites under a 275 pound commuter who rides a combination of chip seal and washboard hardpack roads 15 miles each way is going to lead one to the misconceived notion that the Ksyrium Elite isn't a durable wheelset.
Maybe, depending on the purpose, the $280 handbuilt pair of Velocities actually is a better choice.
