Agree with @miro_o low spoke count winter wheels are pointless. Unless you're planning to build 20h front/ 24h rear, or lower there's no significant aerodynamic or weight benefit... And loads less robust.
Mail ordering rims from the US seems a bit counterintuitive for winter wheels that will need the rim replacing more often than summer best wheels.
In any case - something like a 32h hope rs/sapim race/open pro build only comes to 1650g ish, which is plenty light for training wheels. Archetypes would be a good alternative if rim width is really that much of an issue.
