New Wheels recommendations
I've £450ish to spend on a pair of new rim brake wheels to replace my ageing Zonda's c15's
Obviously low rollers easy bearing maintenance, cheap freewheel replacement, low weight to help with the hills but suitable for a 90kg rider
Any recommendations, do I upgrade to the Zonda's C17 look at Mavic or go down the Scribe or Hunt route

Lightbicycle rims are stunning. Wouldn't be surprised if they were extensively rebranded. Definitely one to consider. I've got a set of their AR disc wheels and they are amazing.
DCR wheels - hand-built all the way
I've no actual experience with Hunt rim brake wheels, but I have 3 sets of their 4 Season Disc on my gravel, winter and endurance bikes. Nicely put together, no issues other than the bearings only seem to last 5000kms (easily changed, they're non-proprietary races). Customer service was great when I had to get a QR skewer replaced.
There's 15% off their Race Aero Wide at the moment: https://www.huntbikewheels.com/products/hunt-race-season-aero-wide-road-...
(before anyone jumps in to say buy them from the Chinese supplier, yes they're most likely Kinlin XR31T rims on a Novatech hub, but these are supplied and warrantied in the UK, less hassle with customer service)
Cycle Clinic's BORG wheels have a good reputation - e.g. https://thecycleclinic.co.uk/products/borg31-wheelset (there's also a lightweight version). Basically they'll custom build whatever you specify.
Looking at the 31 - 24 - 19 dimensions, they look like Kinlin XR31T too, seems a popular choice for wheel builders.
