Any decent wheel set under $200?
I am looking to replace my current 50mm wheel set that has quando hubs and the set weighs 4,800 grams with tires and tubes. I am looking for fairly light wheels at least 30mm. I have been shoping and I saw the aventon push wheel set for $170, I dont know much about bikes so if you do tell me if these are good if not then tell me what you know thanks.

Velomine has Formula/Archetype sets in that range, or Formula/Deep V if you really want that 30mm profile.

While those Miche wheels will be lighter than what you currently have. They aren't light by any measure. If you want light or light-ish spend your pennies on a pair of these: Wabi Cycles fixed gear wheels
To get light deep-section wheels you'll need to spend $400+ on a custom wheel build or a used pair of American Classic 420s.
To really pinch your pennies, get a used light road-style front wheel for <$100 and upgrade your rear wheel down the line.
