Velocity Deep V .vs. Weinmann DP18

I'm looking to upgrade the stock wheelset on my naranja to something with better hubs, deeper section rims, fixed/fixed flip flop hub for quick gearing changes and machined front rim only. Intially I was thinking of getting Velocity Deep V's laced to Formula with cartridge sealed bearings, but now I'm wondering if Weinmann DP18's are just as good at a $65 savings from Velomine. I know that the Velocitys are 30mm deep sections, but have not been able to find the depth of the DP18s. Also, I don't know how well the DP18s will take a 32mm width tire (Fyxation Session 28, but more like a 32mm actual). Finally, I don't know if there's a significant difference in quality that would justify the price difference. The attached photos are for reference only, although I'm leaning towards the all-black configuration. Any answers / opinions / experiences are appreciated.
