364 gms is pretty light. BITD Mavic 330(gms) and 280's(GMS) were some of the lightest around. Most rims typically are closer to 400gms IIRC. I have been keeping an eye out for older tubular rims and if they are a good price, buy them. My goal is to go nearly all the way with sew-ups. At least have an extra wheel set with tubulars. If you want good performance for the buck then I would recommend Vittoria Corsa G+. I have a set of clinchers of this model and absolutely recommend them. They ride better at higher pressures, like 125 to130. Other tires were run at 110/115.
280's would not support heavy riders for very long and often were only used for racing.
