Ended up with Kinlin XR26T rims with Bitex hubs that weigh in around 1550g, for under $500.
Mine were just over 1,600g if i recall correctly. Someday I'll weigh the stock 700c wheels they replaced, but for now, the 650bs feel great, fun, and I've had no issues with the Kinlin rims and Bitex hubs over 500 miles.
