Which 30-35 deep rim wheels for my new project?

Zonda's a good choice, especially given your size. I was heavier than you when i first used them, still perfectly true.

They don't quite meet your rim depth requirements, and you can get slightly lighter at this price, but all this should be secondary to stiffness, IMO.

If you want to sprint up a hill, or power away on the flat - assuming you are a powerful rider - the Zondas will transfer power well and won't waste much energy by flexing.

They are effectively one model up on the quattros, if you consider they are equivalent of FR3 (although zonda rear wheel spoking may actually improve power transfer, but i haven't ridden any fulcrums)

I have heard good things about the CERO AR30 wheels

Hi Kupepe

I own a pair of the older original FSC-38CM

I have put over 5000km into the front wheel, about the same into the 50mm rear I built and about 2000km into the FSC-38CM. Other than I need to improve my wheel building skills and the nipples are very soft, no issues.

Mind are 20/24 both the 38s, the 60 front and my 50 rear with sapim CX spokes from Farsports

I am 1.82 80kg and race over some of the poor quality rural roads around here. Actually I usually attack on the worst surfaces, so my wheels do take abuse.

The best info can found on this Road Bike Review Carbon wheel thread 2.0 where you can trawl through 130 pages of comments from owners, potential buyers and few people acting for suppliers.

Hav u looked at fulcrum quattro,s 35 mm rim and at reasonable price.

Alloy or Carbon?

Personally, last year bought a set of 38mm carbon clinchers and never looked back. Ended up a little later buying a 60mm front and lacing a 50mm rim to a new powertap hub. (note I race)

Now only use 3 wheelsets, the two carbon wheelsets, though it is usally the 38mm front and 50mm rear. And my older powertap wheelsheet laced to mavic open pros as training wheels. Have a nice set of Reynolds Solitudes which are good to ride, but are 400gms heaveir than my carbon wheels at at 30mm not as aero. So they never get used.

If you want alloy the Solitudes are good wheels, but the same weight and almost three times the price of Planet X model b wheelset

So you choices are:
1 lightweight carbon wheels from china (I got mine from FarSports go look up the road bike review thread on carbon wheels for more info)
2 brand name alloys like Reynolds Solitudes 350GBP or Easton EA50 240GBP
3 Planet X at 130GBP

Me after a year on carbon, I would go for carbon.

If I could not afford then, then Planet X and start saving

what type of riding will you be doing? What type of road surfaces? etc.

I would recommend totally different wheels for racing and climbing compared to those for commuting on rough, flat roads or paths.

Easton EA 50's.
