That's not possible. Approximately half of the peleton is running Campy. None of those teams are using Shimano wheels, because they're not compatible (and I seriously doubt they're using JTek shiftmates.)

And of the teams that run Dura ace groupsets, many don't use Shimano wheels. For example CSC runs Dura Ace but uses Zipp wheels.
