Yeah, there's some newfangled aero stuff out there now where the rim kinda bulges out, but all the older wheels like the Mavic IO are very narrow, and designed to accept narrow tubular tires. I'm not really into the latest aerotech, and just use a Zipp 404 tubular front road wheel for all my TT stuff on the track and a narrowish 20mm tire.
