Any reccomendation for 60 ish (or even 80 if is something special) wheels? Tubeless, disc and with no loud logos!

Narrow wheels (for 23c tire):
Bora WTO 60: 26.5mm wide <- WTO stand for Wide Tire Optimized. But ironicly, this rim is narrow.
Winspace Hyper D65: 26.5mm wide

Medium-width wheels (for 25-28mm tires):
Winspace Hyper D67: 28mm wide
Shimano Dura-ace C60: 28mm wide

Wide Wheels (for 28mm and wider tires):
Light-Bicycle WR65: 32mm wide
Ascent Polaris 69: 34mm wide
Hunt Limitless 60: 35mm wide

Rapide is 51mm deep on the front. But the rear is indeed, over 60mm deep.

Edit: white out the incorrect part.

WTO stands for "wind tunnel optimized"

Oops. I misremembered. Thanks.
So that explain why it's not so friendly with wider tires.
Narrower tire+ narrower rim = most aero in wind tunnel.

It just happen that most average people no longer use narrow tires.
So, with wider tires, it need wider rim to maintain the aero performance.

yeah, Campy is definitely conservative on width compared to Zipp/Enve/HED/etc when aiming for 25mm with max of 28mm for best aero performance. Planned tire size and importance of aero certainly should be taken into account for wheel choice.

Yeah, you order them with an XDR freehub body or swap it yourself easily.
