Wheels upgrade for Specialized Roubaix SL4 Disc
Sorry to post yet another question about wheels!!
I am looking to upgrade the Axis 2.0 wheels fitted as standard to my bike. As mentioned in the title, it's a Specialized Roubaix SL4 Disc model (Quick release hubs).
I don't have a fortune to spend, perhaps up to £350.00 though preferably less 
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Presumably, with its diamond coating, the lock will also be sparkly enough to stop innocent drivers from knocking you off your bike?

Nice try to dress up the stats but 60% of cases get warning letters which are useless and might as well jsut be filed in the bin

Thanks for the info guys. The Kinesis ones seem like good value, not too heavy and if they can handle to cobbles, they'll be able handle anything I throw at them
price up some wheels built on a Hope Pro2 Evo hub and you'll have no problem adapting them to whatever standards come along (you just fit different axle adapters) but check you get the 11spd version.
I have the Kinesis CX Discs on my bike, they come in at under 1600g, ride really well and have a decent number of spokes. They are also really stable in cross winds. I gave them an absolute beating in Belgium on the weekend and they are still perfectly true. I haven't yet found a disc wheelset that's considerably lighter than that (even if you spend £1k plus on carbon ones).
Other than that, the new Hunt ones look good (and are thru-axle compatible for the future). The decision maybe comes down to whether you want to run centrelock or 6-bolt discs, although the Kinesis ones are about £100 cheaper (at around £250) if you shop around.
