Xpedo's road pedal is called the Thrust, so...

However their pedals are really nice. The Thrust 8 Ti  (stated 180g per pair, mine were UNDER 170g) and the Thrust SL (~165g) are both lighter than the Time XPro 15, while also using lighter cleats that offer better adjustment. I would avoid the SL and get the 8 series as the elastomer is prone to squeaking. The wear parts and service kits are also a lot cheaper than offerings from Look and Time and given Xpedo is the upmarket brand of Wellgo, access to parts is pretty good.

The Thrust NXS (220g) is also a really good budget option, but I would probably step up to the Thrust 8 CR for the slightly better materials at the $100 price point.
Are they also available for SPD SL?

okay, so if i search for about 45 mm high rims and i want to take the whole wheelset is the lightcarbon (https://de.lightcarbon.com/lightcarbon-ultra-light-and-stiff-disc-brake-road-wheels-with-carbon-spokes_p208.html) one of the best choices, or would you recommend something better, is there something lighter possible?
what do you say about the depth? thought that 45 would be a good allrounder, livin in berlin here evereything is flat but sometimes in freiburg, the black forest with a lot of mountains.
