I recently got my Bontrager Aeolus Pro 5 (50mm) rim brakes wheels and they are nice and use DT Swiss 340 internals in the hubs. Spin really nice. They replaced an older non-TLR version Aeolus 5's I had. Picked up the set for 1300.

But at the same time, if he is saving for a new bike, that new bike would most likely not have rim brakes, so I would save the cash for new wheels for the new bike if they new bike does not have good wheels.
