I had the reply open before the others posted, anyhoo there are loads of other options. If he's wanting some more recommendations I can make some up. Generally you'll get better value building up.

Ask if he wants

Carbon or ally rims, carbon lighter but mostly for tubs and braking can be compromised

Aero or light, weights are such that people are choosing a bit of aero now.

Im no expert on road wheels but I'd have stuck with some of the
brand leaders, Mavic, Hed, Zip, Shimano :?

Mavic are heavy and overpriced

Hed don't do too many normal wheels and those they do are heavy

Zipp are £££

Shimano dura ace wheels are getting good press.

not sure how I could skip the running bit but this looks good.... http://www.ratracegreenbelter.com/scotland.html

How long does a runner take to run 6k ? I reckon I could walk/jog/walk it about an hour or so.
