I ride a Trek Madone 5.2 and use the Bontrager Race wheels that came with it - been using these basic wheels for the last 6 years on my prior bike as well. I'd rate myself as an intermediate roadie.

I'll be going to Mallorca with Trek Travel this summer, and the bike they've generously reserved for me is the Madone 6.5 with Aeolus D3 wheels - they look a bit like the wheels that cyclists who are much faster than me would use

Should the wider rim be a concern when it comes to crosswinds? Or would I notice the difference?

Thanks!

Wider rims will have zero effect in crosswinds. But provide better traction and cornering.
if you mean depth of the rims, then yes you will feel a slight difference from your standard wheels. But the d3 depth is so minor that it won't make a difference, especially if you are a intermediate rider.
