I got a set of stans 355s with hope pro IIs for £260. About 1600g, and roll very nicely.

+1 for Hope Hoops.

Strong, light(ish) and easy to service. What more can you want 😀

Another vote for the hoops. Stans 355s are so much nicer and lighter than 717s and just need some yellow tape to be run tubeless.

Hoops with 355's would be my bet, DT 4.2's dent too easily for my liking.
