"Good set" of Open Pros is an oxymoron. DT Swiss RR 415 or RR 465 is a better option, IMO. They're the replacement names for the RR1.1 single eyelet and double eyelet, respectively.

The problem is that the OP's bike probably has 32-38 mm tires. DT Swiss recommends a maximum tire width of 25mm for both 415 and 465. An Open Pro rim would also not work with tires this wide.
The proper DT Swiss rim option would be the TK 540.
