They are not the lightest. But I got them as a bullet proof winter wheel and at around £200 they were a good price for a branded wheel.
No problems with crosswinds, as you say the profile is not that deep.
I run a 25mm tyres and they fit well but as with all Fulcrums they are a tight fit in the first instance.
They are coming into their second winter and I've done nothing to them over the summer and they are sweet.
There is a CX version with double bearing covers if you are worried at all about water ingress but I've seen none on mine.
Just to say a short valve is just not long enough to be able to fit a pump on even though it is visible. Lesson learned while on a very cold and wet ride.
I also put a little tape around the valve to stop it rattling against the rim.
