Is there such a thing as a lightweight burly wheelset?

So I just got in my Banshee Chaparral frame and while I've been drooling over it I've also been wanting to build it up. I'm looking for some tough wheels that aren't going to weigh too much as the frame already is a bit porky. It's not that weight is a huge issue, but if I ever decide to do anything remotely like a xc ride on it, I'm going to need all the weight savings I can get while still having burly parts. So does anyone have suggestions? My ideal wheelset is the atom lab trailpimp for all around durability, but I'm not really sure if these are heavy by "freeride" standards. Is there some sort of equivalent in durability that might possibly weigh in close to a deemax wheelset? I dunno, I might be completely retarted, but I haven't built up a bike for about 3-4 years so I'm a little lame on all the products that are out there now.
