My opinion is you dont see much differencies at speed. You may pay the brand - durability - stiffness . But downsides are there too : harsher ride cause stiffness , poor durability ( or grease and service a lot) , bad carbon spokes , ceramic hubs doesnt make any noticable increasing speed , "fragile" carbon rims , harsher ride at turns with 40mm-50mm wheels, 400 grams lighter wheels makes you only few secs faster at 1 hour climb etc etc. I dont know nothing about that and all i see is on internet and reviews.
