If you weigh 190, you won't notice a damn thing in a crosswind. I weigh 185ish and regularly ride a rear 404 and front Hed Jet; I don't notice anything unless the wind is ridiculous (like 30mph with a storm on the way).
I built a training set of PT wheels using the Velocity Fusion rims; they are lighter than the Deep Vs, Niobium 30s, etc. and they have proven very reliable so far (4 months or so, maybe 2500 miles). Mine are 28 spoke 2 cross, front and rear, mainly because I bought a pair of rims in that drilling. I think a 24 or even 20 spoke front would've been fine.
