Would I really be losing that many watts compared to 32mm or 45mm wheels? Given the endless variations in wind angle, rim shapes, spokes, can it really be said that those wheels with a rounded rim, few and aero spokes are much slower than a deeper alloy rim? I want alloy for braking and cost - not cheaper carbon.
If you like the DT wheels, then get them. For the same approx weight though, deeper rims will be faster.. how much so obviously depending a lot of things.
Personally, I'm tempted by these, which you could consider if you're wanting to stick to alloy.
