I was under the impression that the sci guy wants handbuilt wheels, but this is the best suggestion so far. And at 17 mm internal width, not likely to have a clearance issue with his frame.

True, but at the sci guy's price range, Campagnolo Zondas are much lighter than Sciroccos:

Campagnolo Zonda C17 Road Clincher Wheelset | Chain Reaction (chainreactioncycles.com) ($415, 1,540 g)
Campagnolo Scirocco C17 Road Wheelset | Chain Reaction (chainreactioncycles.com) ($348, 1,955 g)

Also, probikekit.com collects sales tax, but Chain Reaction Cycle / Wiggle does not.
