Someone just asked about wheels on another thread here:
http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=6550
Maybe this is a place to start? I am not sure what kind of wheels you can get for under $300, though - perhaps someone else can give a specific suggestion as to price?

I have the Mavic Open Pros, they're not terribly light but they're really tough and extremely dependable. No broken spokes or out of true, despite the fact that I ride potholes on a regular basis and was recently in a crash.
Depending on what color you want, they range from $200 to $240.

You ride a Superlight? As in a Santa Cruz Superlight? So, you're looking for mountain bike wheels?
