I'm not a fan of mavic wheels - too many proprietary parts means they're hard to repair. Any combination of a decnt hubset and modern 25ish mm depth 450ish gram rim is going to get you a decently light wheelset. In my stable, this is often a set of DT swiss hubs or Bitex, with the DT Swiss 460 rim (cheap, quality, pretty light).
For those who want to buy wheels pre-made (but who would want to do that?), VeloMine <https://velomine.com/> often offers some great deals. In fact, I've bought several sets from there even though I prefer to build. There's a set of Shimano to A23s on there that's not too bad (1800ish grams - a little heavy).
