for a training bike? just get formula's to open pro's or something.. Why do you want lightweight wheels for a training bike? Training bikes are supposed to be a bit heavier and more durable - that's what makes your 'good' bike feel 'good' right? Unless you're pro obviously.
Or get some Krysium Equipes/Elites or RS80's. Carbon rims aren't THAT much lighter a lot of the time (a lot are heavier than the higher specced mavic/DT wheels - just aero and stiff as fuck instead) and I really wouldn't want to be putting in 5000 miles per year on a wheel like that..
My training bike is steel and has Campy Omega box rims - makes my S-works feel like a rocket ship with an armchair
Also definitely NO tubs for a training bike.
