Carbon aero wheels for my Specialized Tarmac SL4 Sport

I got late to the party but am enjoying every single minute riding.
And obviously I can't seem to stop throwing money at bike upgrades... :?
I'd like to upgrade the wheels of my 2019 Tarmac SL4 Sport with something more aero and good looking.
I ride on almost flat roads where the challenge is more strong headwinds rather than hard climbs.
It never rains here, well almost never and when it does it's sandy mud.
I'm looking at a 40-50cm deep wheel which doesn't cost more than the bike itself.
Any ideas?
Thanks

At the moment I live in Dubai, there are few shops here but not so cheap.OnTheRopes wrote:Where are you based? How about these

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I eventually ordered a set of Fulcrum Speed 55C for USD 1,700 shipped here:

I like the shop, they ship from Italy, good and long reputation, good prices and excellent customer service.
The Fulcrum are probably an overkill for my Tarmac but at least they are more "future proof" in case I will change my bike in a year or two.

Enjoy! Is that in Al quadra? Funny place to ride but good for a fix when you do get out.
The good thing is you almost never need to use your brakes out there!0 -

I ride in AL Qudra during weekends as rides are usually longer.
I train during the week at Nad Al Sheba Cycling Track which is fantastic!! 10 Km ring, big parking with changing rooms, toilets and showers!
The track is always illuminated and the view is great as well!0 -

I ended up with 55s...
As I said barely any uphill road here in Dubai, the big challenge is strong headwinds coming from the desert.
You pedal full steam ahead above your FTP in aero position and you do 10 km/h 0 -
