Yeah, it's hard to say what the weight savings would be if you sprung for some 380g, each, rims for $260 delivered (pair). I could rebuild them for you just for the shipping fees. If your hubs and spokes aren't so light, it might not be worth it though. I know subbed out in my wheels, I would end up at about 1,220 g.
