Personally, I am more concerned with how well the wheels will hold up, rather than the weight, which also plays into budget.
Just checked, Chain Reaction Cycles, located in England, have Zonda wheels with Shimano free hub for $411 shipped. If that is too steep, Sirocco is another good choice, but the Shimano free hub is out of stock at CRC.
