Currently I found:

- Mavic Aksium 2019
- Vision Team 30

What do you think? Are Aksiums ok for very light person?
Keep your Shimanos until you can buy something lighter, more aero and with wider internal rim width. I just spent $1,300 on some Reynolds wheels that were money well spent. They're light, stiff, aero and pretty affordable for a carbon rim. Yes there was a speed gain but it was marginal with the wheels and tires. Maybe .2 to .4 mph. Not small but it's not life changing. Stick with your Shimanos for now.
