Unless Lightweight introduced a budget line recently that I'm unaware of, that "$1500" is a typo and should be $6500

Agree, C40-C-R
Also if not able to find, consider C24-C-R
The C60 is more aero, heavier, more wind affected.
Still can find these on line, but are selling out

I make my own wheels based on Jobst Brandt’s classic book. You can have prowheelbuilder make these for about 1/3 what your budget is
Here’s my recipe
rims-mavic open pro 28 or 32 hole (you can do 28 to save a bit of weight, 32 if you want more strength)
hubs - Bitex Rar/raf12
spokes - Sapim Race double butted
nipples - sapim polyax brass
lacing pattern - 3 cross (you can do a radial spoke pattern on the front to save a bit of weight and looks nice imho)
Rim tape: velox 19 mm
weight approx 1500 grams
these will be strong, light and durable as well as an excellent value.
actually built up a set today
