Thanks for the suggestions.
For 28mm tires and disc brakes, a good choice would be Enve SES 4.5AR. They're optimized around 28mm tires, and $2550/set. You can spec 'em with Industry Nine or Chris King hubs if you want to customize. Depth is 49mm front, 55mm rear. Weight is 1500-1600g. I've never rode these wheels, but they look awesome.
A word of warning: Enve says if you buy today, these won't ship until August. This is probably a concern with any wheel in this range at the moment.
