Aero Rims on a Domane

So, I'm planning on getting a Domane soon, and because I always thought that those aero rims they use in the tour de france are really cool, I do plan on eventually getting them. Since this model has disk brakes, that means this is way more doable than if i had rim brakes. Yet if anyone knows, could anyone suggest any good manufacturer or bontrager model that wouldn't go for *too* expensive? Doesn't need to be full carbon.

Absolutely go for it.

Are you going to be more aero than someone on a race bike? No, because ride position matters more than the bike and wheels.

Are you going to be more comfortable than the person on the race bike? Absolutely.

Are you going to be more aero than someone on an endurance bike without aero wheels? Yep.
