I think the research is fairly clear that, if you're serious about aero, you want the rim to be wider than the tire.

Hunt, Light Bicycle, Zipp, Enve, and 3T are all good places to look. My suggestion would be the LB AR56:

You can use any 25mm tire and some narrower 28mm tires and not pay a huge aero penalty. With novatec hubs, you'd be looking at around $700, 1550g for the set. There's a "Light Bicycle Wheels" thread if you have a couple hours lol.

If you're willing to use 23mm tires, there's a broad range of wheels you could use. There's yoeleo, farsports, ican, spinonthese, EIE, bontrager and probably others you can look into on weightweenies. Some of these guys offer wider options too.
