Hed wheels are great and are super wide with 25mm external width and 21mm internal width. They are aero and very durable. Downsides are lack of custom hub option and weight.

I just got a pair of HED Jet 6+; just a couple rides on it so far but initial impressions are good. Just make sure that your bike has room for the tires; the rims stretched my 25 mm tires to 29 mm.
