Hey, hey!!! I am down to 180 now

Actually, I dont think it is that high a pressure. 60-70psi is pretty much the range recommended by Silca, Zipp AND Enve, for riding 32mms on tarmac.

I was looking at WR45/65. Plan was to run them with a tire with a WAM of 32mm, to make the rim OD - for riding on all sorts of tarmac, on endurance-focused weekend group rides (where there are some attacks and sustained hard efforts but nothing too crazy) and generally as my all-road wheelset that I can take with me when i go on cycling trips.

I know i can accomplish this with a 28mm or 30mm OD rim as well - it is mostly OCD that is pushing me for a rim width that is at the very least equal to the tire width.
