For a couple of hundred dollars, you can build a much lighter wheelset than you can buy, easily getting it down to 1500 gms or less without using expensive weight-weenie components.

The weights of my various wheelsets varies by several pounds. I can't really feel the difference between any of them when riding along. Are you sure its not all in your head?
Do you have them, or are you assuming? A guy on another forum built a 1630g multispeed wheelset with them.
