This is the first new bike I've gotten since the 80's and that was a Bianchi MTB for doing messenger work on.
Open to any suggestion regarding the wheels, gotta be Italian though, and I'm thinkin' I'll most likely stick with machined braking surfaces.
Beautiful bike!
How about Fulcrums? They're not super light (unless you get the zeros), but they're great wheels. If I'm not mistaken they are on sale at pbk now. I have the racing 3's and like them very much as a good all around wheel. They are only 26mm deep, however, and may not be as deep as you are looking for, but the deep section wheels from Campy or Fulcrum (Bora or Racing Speed) will set you back $3000. Corima makes good wheels, and I believe that the MoST wheels (from Pinarello) are rebranded Corima rims. All of the deep section Italian wheels I know of are carbon, not machined braking surface aluminum. For the latter you will probably need to stick with a medium depth rim.
