Dude, really...you're choosing between apples and oranges and I can't tell you which one will taste better. Unless you're going to be racing or riding at top speed everywhere you go, the "aero benefit" of deep-section rims will be moot. This being said, you'll be purchasing them for looks. The Wabi wheels may not look as cool but they will be much lighter - which will be a multi-faceted benefit.

Also, saying "deep V style rim" says nothing as there are a lot of rims on the market. Some are good, some are horrible.
