Alternatives To Mavic CXP22 Wheelset?

I'm thinking of getting a new Mavic CXP22 wheelset with sealed origin 8 hubs from velomine for $150.
However, before I actually order one, I wanted to ask what other good choices there are.

I'm looking for something really thin, not deep v's. I'm only 130 pounds so I don't need dv's anyways.
I want something that is durable and is available in black and non machined for under $150.

I'm looking for wheels kind of like the ones on this: https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/unknown-bike-co-lv2-4089

I have no complaints with the cxp22s from velomine. Very good wheel for the money.

The cxp22's seem great, but then the Sun M13's looks a lot nicer. It's not as deep and doesn't have machined sidewalls. Plus it's like $20 cheaper.

How would the m13's compare to the cxp22's? I don't ride on the track, and I don't race. I only ride like 3-4 times a week for around or 50 miles in total. And critical mass. I am starting to ride more but not anything super serious as of yet.
Will I later regret not getting the m13's?

You should try Cr18s or Rhyno Lites

You can buy CR18s polished, I did. You will see them when Im over. Theyre 23mm wide, that wouldlet you do the whole equal rim and tire width thing :-p
