To be honest, I’d go with the Aksiums and then save the cash to get a set of aero wheels. Weight makes bugger all difference in all seriousness. I am just as quick on my road bike now it has Campag Zondas on it compared to the Fulcrum 7s I replaced and the difference between them is something like 500gs. I’d only worry about weight if I was doing back to back days in the Alps, even the pros seem to use deep rims on all but thre Cat1/HC days in le tour.
I also have a pair of Carbon Clinchers, old v-shape Gigantex rims on Novatec hubs, from 2011cycling2011 via ebay and they arent much heavier than the Zondas but I probably see a greater benefit based on their improived aero comapred to the weight saving from the F7s to the Zondas, essentiually they are the best of both worlds. Lighter than the F7s and a nominal aero benefit over the Zondas. As they have a carbon brake track, I use the Zondas for some of the year and the Carbon clinchers for the summer!
From all I know (and its not that much) Aero trumps weight on all but the steepest, longest climbs. If you look at your average speed on a ride, you spend more time over the average than below it, usually because the climbs are much slower dragging that average down so it amkes sense to optimise the time you are spending over the average, hence aero. The advantage you get from having better aero compared to lower weight must be worth it. And chicks dig deep rims.
eI know its rotational mass and has a different effect on the bikes ability to gain and hold speed, when I see people fret about the weight of their wheels then fill up two bidons and their pockets with energy bars at the start of a sportive with feed stops every 30 miles I do think the marketing teams have won another small victory.
