Snatched a pair of Elitewheels Gravel Aero+ from AliExpress. 45mm deep, 32mm internal width. They weighed 1414g without tape and valves (subtract a few grams for the little rubber axle protector I forgot to remove when I weighed them). Massive upgrade from the heavy stock alloy wheels which served me well for 17.000 km.
They were shipped from Poland to Denmark in 7 days and in total it cost me 730 EUR (830 USD). What a steal damn, they feel super high quality and well built, but then again I never owned a pair of expensive carbon wheels before so I wouldn't know what to compare to. If I were to nitpick, wish they came with the tubeless tape pre-installed, it was included in the box though.
I paired them with the Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH, the new hardpack version with a slick middle, in 45mm. They measured at 47mm on the 32mm internal rims.

Looking nice
Got the same wheel. Paid $550 usd only 😅
Looking good man! It’s a big upgrade for the design with deeper rims. Is it worth the price to upgrade or not is the question?
How’s the quality of the tape it came with?
Got the same wheels! Crazy fast – mine weighed in under 1400g though… I kept the stock 55m G1 RS Pros on my Ari Shafer.
Are you at all concerned about the 45’s? ETRTO thinks the min width should be a 58. The concern is that the sidewall would be to flat I guess and maybe you’ll get a bead blowout or something.
