Which hubs/spokes/rims would be a good way to go to have a light (1300-1400g) pair of rim brake wheels built up?

Edit - alu clinchers

I'm not convinced that there is a good way to do that. DT RR440 rims + DT240 hubs + 20/24 Aerolites/CX-Rays add up to nearly 1500g, where are you going to lose 100g, still less 200g, without compromising the wheel structure? Even using Tune Mig70/Mag170 doesn't get you under 1400g and might go through the budget limit.

WH-9000 is within budget and claims to be sub-1400g, if you want skinny lightweight wheels you're unlikely to do better than that.

@Cycliste has a pair of C24s, and likes them a lot. Although I finally managed to persuade her that she should buy a second-hand pair of 404 Firecrests going cheap locally to replace the C24s on her BMC. Totally gratuitous, but 404s look soooooo cool on the BMC.
