We managed to get one set, using basically the same parts, down to 701 grams, by using hand-selected, lighter than average, EDGE 1.25 rims, and some ceramic bearings in the hubs. But to be honest, those were not stiff enough to be usable, and since then EDGE has beefed up the 1.25 to make them stiffer, so we can't make another 701 gram set. But using either the new beefed up EDGE 1.25 rims, or the newly released AX-Lightness 25mm rims (we have them in stock), we could certainly build a set in the sub 750 gram range with titanium spokes, or right around 800 grams with Sapim CX-Ray spokes.

But as far as I know, you can't get LEW wheels anymore, and those are totally custom one-of-a-kind $15,000 wheels. I was told that he shut down his shop and went to work for Reynolds. So maybe I should have said "The Lightest Wheels in the World that you can still buy...." But those custom LEW 697 gram wheels are beautiful and I'd love to give them a spin.
