Can anyone recommend some deep section carbon wheels please? Maybe 50-60mm. Cheaper the better (obvs), but I don’t know where the price/performance sweet spot is. ---

I saw a youtube video from Cycling Magazine where they talk about Prime wheels that are coming out in August. [Tech of the Month: July 2019 | Cannondale, Garmin, 100% | Cycling Weekly - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkRF4P_VGDk) I have the Prime RR-38 wheelset and have had no issues. Great bang for the buck. ---

Depending on what you consider budget, I can highly recommend the Hunt Aero 50s. Might not be the lightest but they’ve got great reviews and my set have made my CAAD12 feel like a whole new bike. ---

Prime wheels are very legitimate, I do like [https://www.lightbicycle.com](https://www.lightbicycle.com), built on DT SWISS hubs. their wheels have good reviews on weightweenies ---

Another vote for Prime. I’ve got their 38mm disc ones RD-38s. No issues at all. Grab them when they come on sale at CRC. ---

You can get tubulars pretty freaking cheap these days. Light, aero, and fast. Only for race days. Everything else, just some bontrager rl wheels. ---

Yes, I have a number of Flo wheels. Love them. Not the absolute cheapest, but definitely very affordable compared to the big names. Yoeleo get a good rating. UCI approved too (Flo are UCI approved now too). ---

I have the prime RR-50 SE (with the bling stickers). Can’t say nothing bad for them. Although they are not UCI legal, you can get the BlackEdition ones (~300€ pricier) which are UCI legal. Not that anyone here checks if the gear is UCI legal or not. They handle really well, were a really nice upgrade over the Fulcrum Quattro wheels I had before, and if anything, I’m a bit faster outside. ---

Agreed. I picked up a 50mm set a few months ago (with Novatec hubs). No complaints. ---

DSD Composites builds great wheels here in Tucson, AZ. I regularly race on their 65mm or 88mm wheels and love them. The owner, Daniel, takes a lot of pride in what he does and makes sure the wheels are built right. [http://www.dsdcomposites.com/](http://www.dsdcomposites.com/) -Kyle ---

All my wheels come from these guys! Amazing build quality and built to spec. They are doing fully tubeless rims in any configuration you can imagine. Can’t recommend them enough ---

What width are you looking at? I’m looking to get 65’ too but I’m debating on the 32mm outside width or 28mm outside width ---

I have 28’s in the cart- I don’t see the 32’s as an option? [Next page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/deep-section-carbon-wheels-on-a-budget/17970.md?page=2)
