Opinions on Ultegra wheelset

Any opinions on Shimano’s WH-RS500 wheelset (700x15c)? I know they’re classified as Ultegra but it really sounds like maybe more like deluxe 105’s. The reason I ask is that my bike currently has 700x14c rims and already has marginal clearance with the mounted Roubaix Pro 25/28 tires (I have to partially deflate to clear brake calipers). If I buy any wheel wider than 700x15c I’m going to have to also purchase new narrower tires, which I’d rather not do. My old Tarmac had Ultegra wheels and I really liked how they felt so I’m hoping that Shimano’s latest version is similar.
