If you are located in the EU, RCZ is currently selling carbon QR disc wheels at a pretty low price; you need to suscribe to their newsletter and get a discount code.

The second hand market is another good idea.

I am pretty sure most wheels with DT hubs can be converted from one axel standard to another; just check before you buy and factor the cost.
I could not find anything nice on RCZ even though they have some good deals! but the 50+ mm profile wheels are too expensive. How much will the discount code be?
I just got this code for MSC wheels - RCZMCC
QR based, prices from €379 to €500.
It expires today, but if you sign up, other options will appear.

There's one thing I don't quite understand with qr+ta compatible rear hubs. If a qr hub is 135mm and a ta hub is 142mm, it means the cassette ends up 3.5mm farther to the left on a QR hub converted to TA.

It should affect the chainline, but the wheel will also lose out on the main advantage of the wider hub (better spoke bracing angles). Hypothetically speaking...

One last point about rims. Many are specified as "max" 28mm but are narrower at the tire interface. Such a rim is not aero optimized for 28mm tires. It's the width at the tire interface that matters.
Based on my logic most converters to quick release should work with every brand of hubs since the thru axle size is the same?

That's true for the front wheel, I believe. They're 100mm with either standard.

If the rear dropout is 135mm there is no way you can squeeze in a 142mm ta hub with any amount of adapters, unless that hub has oversized endcaps, and a narrower geometry. (predesigned for backwards compatibility, with possible compromises that I mentioned earlier)

Old posts (10y old) on the internet claim that 135 and 142 mm standards have the same chainline, but newer don't. Sorry I can't inform you more conclusively.

I just found Yishunbike, they have a warehouse in Germany and has fast shipping to Denmark. I just messaged them to hear about the price. Do you know this brand? I can see they have been mentioned in other threads so I will take a look for a good review!
Yishun is a well known brand; it has been established for some time.

I have a pair of Yishun; I think it is the RSD 930 XC rim, titanium spokes and Novatec hubs.
They are QR and centre lock. They weigh 1.25 kg with the tubeless rim and valve.

I've ridden them 60 km. Spoke popped, changed it, but I don't trust them. If you have interest, PM; I could sell them cheap and including 35 mm GK never used (not the ones on the pics, those are 38 mm with 60 km).

You would need to replace with different spokes. These do not work well; bad idea I had.
