Sorry, I missed where you listed all the specific the parts on your bike, definitely missed the wheels. I was making a generic comment. But in general, I stick to the comment that it often is not a good "bang for buck" to go to CF wheels compared to nice alloy ones (which you say you already have... but I didn't catch the weight. Also, in general, if a person is serious about getting to a goal weight (BTDT), they would look at the group that is lightest that fits their budget. There might be lighter options than Ultegra since you're looking at investing in a lighter overall bike. No offense intended.
