Unless you're building a wheelset for
Everesting (i.e., climbing for hours and hours and hours...), then aero > weight, especially when we're only talking 30 grams.
Are you custom configuring the wheels or buying a pre-made wheelset? If you customize, you can get the wheels down to a crazy light weight largely by selecting a light weight hub. There is also a "Flyweight" carbon fiber rim option when building the custom wheels to minimize weight if you're not a heavy rider.
