Just received my elite wheels; it took about three weeks to receive to MD, USA. I paid $497 for the set through Ali. I opted for the widest on order (32.5mm external) which were 38mm deep. My stock gen 3 check point wheels came in exactly 2kg naked. These were 430g lighter at 1570g naked. Internal rim width wise I went from 21.6mm to 25.5mm. This is what I can measure with a caliper. Both wheel sets have a lip, so can’t measure under it. However, the wheels came with 27mm tape and it’s undersized my 1-1.5mm; so true internal width is somewhere near 28mm. My Specialized 47mm Pathfinders measure the same between the two wheels (46.2mm). The freehub is fairly loud; haven’t ridden so not sure how potentially annoying it is.
Surprises along setup. My 1X 12sp apex setup came with a splined 12s cassette. I ordered these with xdr hub, but opted to get a splined 11s freehub ($35) in case of using it in another bike. I would have been waiting another couple of weeks if I didn’t have this on hand. Switching hubs is tool less: pull one out and shove the other in, with its corresponding end cap.

I bought the 45mm version last year and have been very happy with them.
Packing the freehub (ratchet?) with grease should make it less noisy, at least for a good while.
Sorry if this this sounds like a stupid question, but you upgraded your gravel wheels? Or are these a set of road wheels?
