Looking for wheels with wide rims and 32 spokes
This post may be better suited in gravel/cyclocross forum since gravel riding is what I'm ultimately looking to do, but I primarily ride on roads and am looking for a wheelset that can do it all, including light touring thus weight is not really a concern. I currently ride Mavic CXP22 with an inner width of 14-15mm on 32mm tires, on a bike that can clear 35mm tires depending on brand and model. I'd like to maximize the tire width on this particular bike which is my commuting/gravel/touring bike (with rim brakes), and I'd really like wheels with at least 17mm inner width and minimum of 32 spokes. Any suggestions? I like my current wheels except the width being the only problem. Took a look at the Aksium model which has 17mm width but not enough spoke counts. Tubeless compatibility and quiet hubs would be great but not necessary, and I prefer fully built wheelset rather than building since it's usually cheaper, but of course am open to all suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

I bought DT Swiss R460s laced to 5800 hubs from my LBS, I like em. Probably not a deal, but not super pricey. Hard to find online though.

Look in the DT Swiss catalog. I remember seeing some 32 spoke wheels with wide rims. I found where I originally saw these wheels. https://www.merlincycles.com/dt-swis...0c-112361.html
