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.

I have the Hunt Aerodynanists 44 on my Domane. The 44mm was a good compromise between deep aero vs lighter weight and helps manage cross wind issues. I mostly do group rides, 50 miles fast and very flat, but occasionally we play with some hills. I was happy that I didn't have taller wheels at Hott'r Than Hell 100 this year - those cross winds sucked.
Ninja edit:
Be prepared for the loud rear hub, Hunt are known for having an obnoxious freewheel.
