Kinlins XR270s are not exactly low profile, but they're still lighter than CXP22s at ~450g per rim.

IRO is currently having a sale on their Cold Fusion rims, which are said to be rebranded Velocity Fusions. If this is indeed the case, they have a 25mm depth with a reported weight of 480g. Buying their hubs and rims together will definitely give you a great, low priced wheelset, even if you got it professionally assembled.
Wow! Do you think the Iro Cold Fusions are as light as their Velocity counterparts? If so, would the "Standard Wheels" at their page here be lighter than the CXP22/Deep V's? I'd be willing to pay $200 for that.

Thanks a ton!

Edit: Since the Iro wheels are $232 shipped, is it worth the $60ish premium?
