Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

As ever depends on your budget doesn't it? And what you consider "better than average"
Canyon, Rose (you have a choice), Trek as mentioned, Cannondale own brand are OK, Boardman have Zipps on their top end ones, Focus the same. Canyon are definately the best wheels on all bikes though, no £100 > 2kg training wheels to be seen anywhere.
My Trek Domane came stock with Vision Metron 40 wheels (£1300 rrp wheels)
The 2018 bike are coming with Bontrager Aeolus Pro wheels (£1200 rrp)
