Help me decide on the Elite Wheelset to Buy

Really torn on which wheelset to get for my Bike.
These are two I am down to.
ELITE PRO - The plain black ones are nice as I can do 50 or 55mm deep at 28mm external width.

ELITE X PRO - But I really like the carbon weave look. They only have the 50mm deep wheels in 29mm external width. The 60mm deep version claims the external width is 28mm. I have Shimano 105 rim brakes, so not sure if the 29mm ones will fit.

Also can someone confirm the X PRO wheels even though stated as tubeless, are also clincher?
Thanks for your help.

I'd strongly suggest going for the next step up, the Elite Wheels Edge.
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKpRtP6
Significantly lighter (around 350g), better hubs, much better spokes, wider internally.
All can be used as tubeless or with a regular tube setup.

Does their lineup from worst to best go, ENT<PRO<SLR<EDGE?

Leon was really easy to work with and responsive to questions. Yuanan is the OEM for Elite.
In terms of the hierarchy I think the Drive is the highest, EDGE > SLR > ENT

Do you guys think that 582$(682$ minus 100$ with the pormo code) for Elitewheels Edge(
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004767705476.html
) with ceramic bearings(644$ with regular bearings) is a good deal or does Leon from Yuanan offers better price for the same specs?

I got a set (non ceramic bearings) for 478 euros shipped to Belgium on 11 november. Leon offered me 570 euros for a set (same specs) at first, and later he offered me 510 euros when I said the 11.11 deal was cheaper. In the end Ali was still cheaper for me (because of the coupons and discounts).

Elitewheels edge, rd13 ratchet system hub (non ceramic), 45mm height, shimano version.
They have been shipped in the meantime as well, way faster than I thought.
