HA! The front wheel is 700g (without skewer) and isn't that deep at all. The rear is a Mavic Open Pro rim which is not a deep section wheel.
Form? You mean weight? A deep section wheel is superior to a shallow rim for aerodynamics (from the front) but is usually heavier so it is a balancing act between the two. If you can get a light, deep rim then that is the best for 'form'. Unfortunately I can't afford carbon rims. :)
