as noted (PSIMET) , you're getting into rarified air with tubulars, especially carbon tubulars (are there any other kind these days ?)
specialized, racing stuff... PITA for most...
HED Stinger 3 tubulars are 35mm external, and 27mm on the tire cradle. 'Toroidal', so not 'deep'. I'm sure there are good TT race profile rims/wheels available for your use, in varied profiles, for only a few ounces of gold...
as usual, BF, and this thread, has a high Noise to signal ratio...
There's a lot more to 'aero' than just 'profile'; and if you're aero need is absolute, then EVERYTHING matters.
and if you just love the ride of tubulars and are willing to put up with the complications - they're still great riding gear.
google "Tom Anhalt' (Blather 'bout Bikes) or Hambini and 'aero' and you'll find plenty of good info, some contention, but overall better opinion and research than you'll find on BF.
Ride On
