Well it depends what do you want them for, at that weight and 36 spokes, they would not be competitive for most racing. Not familiar with the rims, but they would make a bullet proof pair of training wheels.

Why do you want 36 spokes.?

At about the same weight (1765 g), and five times the price, there are Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLs. What justifies the price difference?
