Cheers @broken_777
Those Bitex look good, nice prices too, where about are you located?
Don't really wan't to do the whole import thing so the PX carbon looked like a good deal. not fixed to having carbon though so an alternative suggestion on an aero rim would be welcome (looked at H son, Ryde, Kinlin and Pacenti amongst others)

Im in South London.
As for rims - depending on the usage really. Kinlin XR31T is about 480grams , finish on these is amazing, very round and sidewalls are evenly machined. Very stiff rim.Pacenti is 440g give or take, shallower and less stiff. Finish leaves a lot to be desired for that kind of money.
H plus son Archetype looks really pretty ,is somewhat "heavy" for its depth and width, Finish is great, sometimes nipples get chewed up because of the sharp, silly V shape. Chamfering the nipple seats is a must with these.
Ryde - not much experience with these but i pressume similar to pacentis. Very pricy.If you want aero, stiff and light. Carbon is the way to go:)

i wouldn't lace a hope hub radially, for reasons i outlined few posts earlier.
Planet x rims is OK, you will need to purchase internal nipples for it.
Hubwise - Bitex RAR12, designed to produce the stiffest wheel due to a wide flange spacing, good size TPI bearings, fairly light, very affordable
Spokes - race is good or you can get Pillar Aero PSR spokes for a little bit more money, aero shape, stronger at the elbow, marginally lighter.
Shameless plug:
I sell Bitex and Pillar
I can build the wheel for you too
