Zipp 404's have a recommended max of 255 lbs, or 115 kg.
Deep carbon rims can be very light and also strong.
Of course, they are not cheap, but the known issues that carbon clinchers have with regards to chucking the tyre off under breaking aren't an issue here as you won't be using a brake on them.
