135mm, tubeless compatible disc wheels
Alrighty, as I search for the frame to obtain, I realize I will also need a wheelset. Off in dreamland, it will be a November Nimbus Ti disc wheelset, but in the even I need to save some money... I am looking for other options. As the title shows, they need to be disc, preferably centerlock (not a deal breaker though), 135mm rear, able to be run tubeless, and handle gravel/light singletrack.
I have found these: Vuelta Corsa Lite DCX Disc Cross Wheelset
I have heard good things about vuelta's in the past, however I do not know if they will take a tubeless setup well. Others?

What other rim choices do you have in cross width? Maybe start there. What rim width are you trying to use, 20 mm? I'm more of a mt biker, and tubeless has really taken over there. Seems cross and commuting would be perfect for tubeless setups but haven't seen much. Maybe try to source a NOS mt bike setup?

I don't need anything super wide, although it certainly doesn't hurt. I am sure most everything I would actually want will be pricey, but I'd like to know what is actually out there.

Here is one I found through google: https://www.merlincycles.com/kinesis...QAtxoC31Xw_wcB
And it states it is tubeless compatible, and would save $200 off of the November's.
