142x12 road wheels?

Does anyone have suggestions for a set of reasonably-priced 700c or 650b road wheels that are compatible with:

142x12
11-speed 105 (5800) -- this seems to be a problem with lots of 650b wheels
discs

Will be used for century rides and longer (and credit card touring), with maybe the occasional rainy 30-mile RT commute.

Thanks!

I think OP is looking for an 11-speed wheel that can take an 12-42T 11-speed cassette. Not sure why the 11-42 part should be a problem as long as it takes an 11-speed cassette.

OP is looking for 142x12mm thru axle rear wheel instead of 135mm QR for his disc frame.

Handbuilts my friend. I'd suggest Bitex hubs with your favorite spokes....then either H PLUS SON Archetypes (700C) or Perhaps these Kinlin 650B rims:

Nice handbuilts wheels for $400ish

He's wanting thru-axle wheels.

Yeah. Sorry about that — I should have been clearer. The bike is designed for thru-axles with 142mm spacing, which is lovely for things like changing out the wheels and not having to worry about alignment and all of that, but it does seem to limit my wheel choice.

Thank you for all the suggestions, everyone!
