Before you purchase wheels do a little research.
Here are some wheel weights.
Bontrager Paradigm Comp 1685 grams (Aluminum stock rims)
Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3 TLR 1600 grams
Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3V TLR 1575 grams.
Bontrager XXX 2 1380 grams.
Bontrager XXX 4 1455 grams
A pair of BNIB Aeolus Pro 3's came up at a great price so I purchased them. Then I started looking at weight difference and it was only 85 grams. That is not a big enough weight difference to justify the cost. So now I am thinking the Bontrager XXX 2's at 1380 grams. Low profile, fits 28 mm tires and can use non tubeless tires. Plus a weight savings of 305 grams. Lots of good choices when you decide to build your bike. Wheels with different profile heights, weights, and widths all can be had from Bontrager.
To the OP congratulations on your new bike, it looks great.
