I ordered a pair of the Ultralight Feder wheels (FSD35CM-27T-SUD) on Nov 25. Hookless rims with 35mm depth, 28mm outer width, 22mm inner width. FAR230 hubs with standard bearings and Shimano freehub. Sapim CX-Super spokes. Claimed weight is 1070 grams, and with a no-hole rim bed, will not require tape to set up tubeless with Continental 5000S TR tires. Will post weight and impressions when they arrive.

For full aerodynamic effect you need a tire that is 105% the (actual) with of your tires, so if your 28mm tires actually measure 30mm mounted you'd want a 32mm wide wheel if possible.

I wouldn't ride a 28c tire on a hookless rim. The pressures needed would probably be at the higher acceptable limit for hookless rims.

The deeper the better, but it depends on where you ride (do you have a lot of crosswind’s?), what weight you are looking for and so on

Ordered Farsports Gravel wheelset (hooked 30mm depth/30mm external width w/ DT350 hubs) on 11/11, shipped 11/16, and received 12/4 in the USA. Fantastic build quality. Advertised as 1370g but actually weighed in at 1340g.
