Tell us what the wheel is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
DT Swiss says: "The latest generation of ARC 1100 DICUT wheels - available in disc brake version in three different rim heights 80 mm, 62 mm and 50 mm - was developed in cooperation with SWISS SIDE, leading expert in aerodynamic optimization. Consequently, the new AERO+ rim profile minimizes both aero drag and steering moment to improve its aerodynamic and controlling in even strong cross wind."
It's an impressive wheelset which achieves more than being just a deep section aero component.
