Check these out. I have a set and like them. Deepest and widest alum set I know of, have to search to find them on clearance somewhere tho. I picked mine up for $200. I wasn't sure about Chinese carbon either

I bought a set of Chinese carbon aero wheels to train on over the winter. I have about 6000km on them now and I have to say I'm pleased with the quality. For every one failure you hear about, there are probably about 5000 success stories. It's usually just the problems that get posted on the Internet though.
