Advice on Gipiemme or other 700c campy wheels?
I've got an older Giant bike running Campy Veloce 10sp on Fulcrum Racing 7 wheels with 25mm tires. They're showing their age and I am looking to replace them.
Obviously, since I don't race but rather go on long solo rides, I am looking for something that endures and doesn't break the bank. Given the Campagnolo groupset, my options are rather limited.
What I've came across so far is:
Gipiemme Equipe 716 Tubeless Road Wheel Set - can't find out much about them, apart that they haven't been upgraded since 2015. I like the 40mm rim height and the price fits my range.
Campagnolo Zonda C17 - reputable wheels, but very low rim height and slightly on the higher end of my budget.
Miche Altur - really nice looking wheels, within budget, a review from road.cc praised them back in 2015. I have heard bad stories about Miche reliability.
Can you guys help a fella out? Which one should I choose and are there other wheels I missed?

Your region or country might make a difference as to what you can get or from what vendor you can purchase from.

If you'd like to keep it Campagnolo, the Scirocco C17 wheelset is worth looking into. It has a 35mm rim profile and priced right around your budget.

Aren't there Campy freehubs available for other brands of wheels? I've bought Mavic wheels that came with a Shimano freehub but I just changed the hub over to a Campagnolo one. You may have more options than you think.
