650s? Man you like to make it tough... ;) I think we have a set of them, but I think they are going to be sold with a complete bike. I'd have to find out.
Personally I love the wheels that Wheelbuilder recommends. My training (and often racing) wheels are what he built for me (with a PowerTap... mmmm). And actually I'm not even sure what the model of them or the brand of the rim is. I just know it is what he told me to ride, and that they were a reasonable price.

Alex rims. They came on my first bike and fell apart.
I'm a big fan of Mavic for training wheels.....always bombproof. The last set of training wheels I built was a pair of Mavic CXP22 rims laced to Shimano 105 hubs. You should be able to build those up for well under $200.

I"ll second the mavics - I train on Mavic Open Pro rims built with Ultegra hubs. Slap on some Armadillo tires and you have a totally bombproof wheel.

^^I'm taking 3 credits (practically nothing) of "research". It's basically an excuse to not get a job yet and fly around doing triathlons before becoming a productive member of society.

I need another set of wheels for training. Cheaper would be better. Any thing I should all out avoid?
Anyone got a set of 650s in their garage, gathering dust?
