Hi
for my TanTan GR048 I am looking for carbon gravel wheels with the following specifications:

Weave:UD
Rim Type: Tubeless
Rim outer Width: 27-28mm
Rim inner width: 24-25mm
Rim height: 30-40mm
Hub: DT Swiss 350 or 240
Axle Hub Front: 12x100
Axle Hub Rear: 12x142
Freebody: Shimano 10,11,12s
Brake Interface: Center Lock

I am not familiar with good Chinese wheel manufacturers. Can anyone recommend a manufacturer?

Very unlikely that you will get DT Swiss hubs in that budget, you'll probably need at least 800 EUR to get a good wheel with DT Swiss 350s. Consider one of the recommendations made by Ludo above with house brand hubs.

indeed, plenty of options around here.
Peter (XMS carbon) is almost unbeatable if you're looking at good quality for a low price.
My personal favourite is https://www.wheelsfar.com/gravel-c0374. They also can make custom wheels like with their own dt swiss stile hubs which are very light.  Once you start chatting with them, they can give you some options.

I've seen a few people mention Peter, but I've never seen any way of contacting this mystical man.

Does anyone have any contact details?
