Home trainer wheel advice

Hi
I got a new bike with disc wheels and Shimano Ultegra 6800, 11-32, 11-speed.
I am looking to use it on a home trainer.
I found an affordable wheel that will take 11 speed cassette.
What cassette can I use? Do I really need to spend and get ultegra cassette?
Are there any other options of using something cheaper?
Maybe another shimano cassette or something from sunrace, miche?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Just try it with the wheels you have on the turbo.
1. Most people don't turbo for more than a month or so.
2. Even if the turbo does wear your tyres - it's cheaper buying another tyre than it is a new wheel cassette and tyre.0 -
Thanks.
I used what you mention with my old bike.
End of the season and then just destroy the tyre.
Like you mention, much cheaper.
I was thinking during the transitional weather I will still be using my trainer, but also going out.
So it would be ideal to just swap them quickly, instead of changing the tyre or going out with a tyre that has been shaved off.
But yes, with the disc wheel and all it is giving me a headache. It would be expensive.
I'll have to compromise I guess.0
