LightCarbon 700C Super Light 5-Spoke Carbon Wheel For Road-Gravel-TT

700C 5-Spoke Carbon Wheel Feature:
-Three-spoke, five-spoke, and full-wheel rear wheels are widely used in triathlons, time trials, and track cycling. Five-spoke wheels usually excel in terms of aerodynamics and stiffness. The relatively heavy wheels on the market weigh around 2000 grams per pair. But our latest ultralight 5-spoke wheels weigh only 1300 grams (front 600g , rear 700g ).
-LightCarbon 5-spoke carbon wheels are made of high-quality Toray T700+T800+T1000, not only superimposed, but also properly proportioned and elaborate lad up. All the hard work are for making this lightweight, high-strength multi-purpose wheel, which will give you better performance on the road riding, race and gravel riding.
-Disc brake hub adopts 3-pawl free hub system design and ceramic bearings, which are smoother, stiffer and more durable compared to steel bearings.
-The five carbon beams are designed in aerodynamic shape and are integrated with the rest of the wheels to add aerodynamics advantage by providing less air resistance.
-Optional carbon weave : UD matte / UD glossy / 3K matte / 3K glossy.
-2 years quality warranty.
EXW price is about USD$999/pair.

If they really come in at 1300g that's good, and profile of the spokes looks decent.  But I think sales are going to be pretty limited.  You went for a now archaic external width.  You should be looking for something like 33mm external width front, and 31.5mm rear.  Or in that ballpark.  Either for road or mixed use (road and gravel).  I think for a dedicated gravel rim you'd want significantly wider still.
