Fulcrum 3s come in at 1550 g, according to the manufacturer. I don't think you'll really gain much from moving to a lighter wheel, if you can even find one for not stupid monies. Changing from 25 to 28 will give you a 10% easier gear, which is much more beneficial than a new set of wheels.

Have fun
